“…2). In ruptured aneurysms, color flow imaging with pulsed and continuous-wave Doppler demonstrates a continuous turbulent systolic and diastolic flow into the receiving chamber, most commonly the right ventricle or right atrium[ 66, 67]. Volume overload of the affected chambers will be detected due to increased blood flow associated with significantly sized shunts.…”

“…In the coronary care unit, commonly available techniques, such as transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography, may confirm the diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva or suggest another cause for the symptoms [12,13]; however, transthoracic echocardiography may be difficult to perform in obese patients or in those with pulmonary disease or may miss the diagnosis. Furthermore, transesophageal echocardiography is not always tolerated by the patient, as was the case in the present report.…”

“…With recent advances in echocardiography, it has been possible to diagnose ASV without difficulty and with more accuracy; however, a significant number of ASVs cannot be diagnosed by echocardiography. 5 Cardiac catheterization is required to confirm the diagnosis and to precisely evaluate the hemodynamic significance of the lesion, associated cardiac anomalies, and, most importantly, the coronary anatomy. 1 This case was dearly ascertained to be an extracardiac ASV by MRI, but not on the basis of echocardiography, CT, or cardiac catheterization.…”
