“…Isolated aneurysm causing right heart failure is rare, although some cases were reported, most of them like those especially by A.G Desai et al, 3 Levine et al 4 were mainly due to RVOT obstruction, i.e. aneurysm of Valsalva compressing RVOT leading to right heart failure.…”

“…Although cardiac catheterization and aortography are accepted gold standard in the diagnosis, 2 two‐dimensional (2D) and Doppler echocardiography are efficient to show unruptured SVA 11,12 . Transthoracic three‐dimensional (3D) echocardiography may also reveal comprehensive anatomy of the SVA 13 .…”

Severe Right Ventricular Outflow Obstruction by Right Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm

Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are rarely diagnosed cardiac anomalies, occurring in 0.14%-0.96% of patients who have undergone open heart surgical procedures. The most common congenital anomalies accompanying sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) are ventricular septal defect, bicuspid aortic valve, atrial septal defect, and coarctation of aorta. We report a patient with an unruptured right SVA presenting with severe right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction, and coexisting patent foramen ovale (PFO) with a right to left shunt. It could be assumed that the increase in right atrial pressure due to RVOT obstruction had led to a right to left shunt across the patent foramen ovale.

“…The unruptured aneurysms may go unnoticed for years, without any significant haemodynamic disturbance [1]. They may present with signs of right heart failure and a loud pulmonary flow murmur [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] or with a complete heart block caused by compression of the ventricular septum by the aneurysm [11,12]. Patients may rarely present with myocardial ischaemia, caused by coronary artery compression [10,13,14] or with dysphagia caused by oesophageal compression [15].…”

We report the case of a 73-year-old previously fit man who presented with a 10-month history of worsening dyspnoea on exertion. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a mass in the right ventricle. The diagnosis of non-coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent surgical removal of the aneurysm with uneventful recovery. Since this rare anomaly may arise from different aetiological backgrounds, it is important to consider this condition in the differential diagnosis and diagnostic process in order to deliver prompt, and potentially life-saving, treatment.
