Background Sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) with rupture is a rare cardiac anomaly which can be congenital or acquired with reported incidence of 0.46%–3.57% among Asians population. Aim of the Study The aim of this study is to analyze 30 years of single institutional surgical experience in management of 216 cases with SVAs from 1992 till date. Methods Age group was from 6 to 64 years (mean: 32.5 ± 11 years) with male to female ratio of 2.2:1. The aneurysms originated from right coronary sinus in 181 cases (83.79%), noncoronary sinus in 35 cases (15.74%) and ruptured into the right ventricle in 149 cases (68.98%), right atrium in 59 cases (27.31%). Bicameral approach was used in majority of the cases (n = 213, 98.61%). Aneurysms were repaired using Dacron patch in 173 cases (80.09%) and direct closure in 43 cases (19.9%). Associated ventricular septal defect was closed with Dacron patch in 123 cases (56.94%). Aortic valve was replaced in 21 cases (9.72%) and aortic valve repair was performed in 14 cases (6.48%) for associated Aortic regurgitation. Results There were no perioperative hospital deaths. Follow‐up was available in 204 patients (94.44%) ranging from 2 to 26 years (mean: 10 ± 5.6 years). Two deaths (0.92%) occurred during the postoperative follow‐up period. The actual survival was 99.5% at 1 year, 99% at 5 and 10 years. Conclusion Long term results of surgically repaired SVAs are good with low morbidity (3.24%) and mortality (0.92%) even when associated with major cardiac anomalies. Aortic valve repair and replacement both are equally feasible alternatives for management of moderate to severe aortic regurgitation with associated merits and demerits.

Background: We report a series of 7 patients of right pulmonary artery to left atrium fistula operated in our institute between 1998 and 2019. Aim of the Study:To present a comprehensive management of right pulmonary artery to left atrium fistula in an organised manner with excellent results, even in adult population.Methods: Seven consecutive patients of RPA to LA fistula were investigated with appropriate diagnostic modalities and underwent successful surgical correction.Results: Post procedure the oxygen saturation improved to >95% in all the patients. There were no early or late post-operative deaths. All patients underwent TTE at every follow up.Conclusion: Appropriate use of imaging techniques helps in exact diagnosis with anatomical delineation which decides the further line of management in relieving the symptoms and prevention of complications of the fistula.
