Abstract
Unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SVAs) are rare cardiac lesions that arise due to congenital or acquired etiologies. They could be asymptomatic or cause various clinical manifestations as a consequence of their mass effect on the coronary arteries, heart valves, and other adjacent structures. While the factors predicting SVA rupture are not fully understood, ruptured SVAs carry a high complication and mortality rate, highlighting the need for early recognition and management of unruptured SVAs. Imaging modalities such as echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), angiography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are essential in identifying and characterizing the aneurysm as well as associated cardiac anomalies. However, there are no specific guidelines for the diagnosis and management of SVAs. Herein, we performed a contemporary systematic review to examine the presentation, diagnostic tests and findings, as well as outcomes for surgical intervention of unruptured SVAs. We demonstrate that surgical repair remains the preferred method of treatment in order to prevent complications such as rupture or thrombus formation. Surgery should be prompted in patients with symptomatic, large, or rapidly expanding unruptured SVAs, as well as those unruptured SVAs that contain intraluminal thrombi, have a mass effect on surrounding structures, or are recurrent. Surgical outcomes are generally good with favourable prognosis and minimal recurrence.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
