A congenital aneurysm of the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva extending into the wall of the left ventricle.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Modern randomised controlled trials typically use composite endpoints. This is only valid if each endpoint is equally important to patients but few trials document patient preference and seek the relative importance of components of combined endpoints. If patients weigh endpoints differentially, our interpre...
