A Rare Case of Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm With Noncoronary Sinus to the Right Ventricle

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A 34-year-old man with a perimembranous outlet ventricular septal defect and aortic regurgitation had acute heart failure after congenital intestinal atresia treatments. Echocardiography revealed a new continuous left-to-right shunt in the right ventricle (Video 1). A ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA; arrows in Figure) was suspected. Computed tomography and 3-dimensional computer graphic software (Viewtify; SCIEMENT, Inc) analysis confirmed that the noncoronary sinus (NCS) ruptured into the right ventricle (Figures A, B; Video 2).
