Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is considered to be an uncommon cardiac anomaly, carrying a very high rate of mortality. After treatment, the prognosis is excellent. Thus, it is important to make a timely diagnosis and clarify the anatomical details of the SVA. Here, we report a right SVA with dissection into the interventricular septum, with bulging and incomplete rupture into the left outflow tract. The SVA was evaluated using echocardiography (transoesophageal, transthoracic, and three-dimensional echocardiography) and cardiac computed tomography (CT), especially three-dimensional reconstruction, to help us plan the surgical approach. After surgery, the patient's recovery was favorable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
