“…Congenital heart disease such as VSD, bicuspid aortic valve, or aortic insufficiency may coexist with SVA. Causes of acquired aneurysms include trauma, tuberculosis, infective endocarditis, Behçet disease, syphilis, and atherosclerosis [4]. Thurnam reported the first case with a ruptured SVA in 1840 [5].…”

A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac condition. Among SVAs, the incidence of rupture is reported about 34-47% [1,2]. More than 97% of all ruptured aneurysms originated in either the right coronary sinus or the non-coronary sinus. Most SVA tended to rupture into the right ventricle (RV) or the right atrium. We describe a case of a double-chambered RV (DCRV) induced by a ruptured SVA with multi-factors. Case reportThe subject was a 54-year-old male who experienced easy fatigability on exertion. Soon after birth, a cardiac murmur was auscultated and ventricular septal defect (VSD) was diagnosed. Because of a small defect and a small amount of left-to-right shunt, closure of VSD had not been required. The patient had not been hospitalized before and had an unremarkable medical history without VSD. He had been experiencing easy fatigability since 53 years of age, therefore he consulted our department of adult congenital heart disease. A bounding pulse was palpable, and a Levine grade V/VI continuous murmur was auscultated at the left sternal boarder. An electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with a left atrial load. Chest radiography showed

We report a rare case of interventricular septal dissecting aneurysm, that resulting from ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm and paravalvular aortic root pseudoaneurysm. A 60-year-old man presented with chest pain and palpitation, the diagnosis was confirmed using multimodality imaging, including transthoracic echocardiography, computer tomography angiogram and coronary angiogram. The patient underwent the modified Cabrol procedure, repaired ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm and closured the communication of the pseudoaneurysm in the department of cardiac surgery. In this case report, we provide information for clinicians diagnostic thought, and highlight the role of multimodality cardiac imaging.

“…Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm (RSOVA) is a rare lesion seen in both pediatric and adult population [1][2][3]. A right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm usually ruptures into the right ventricle and the aneurysms of non-coronary sinus into the right atrium [4].…”

Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm (SOVA) can arise from any of the three aortic sinuses. Aneurysm arising from the right coronary sinus, rupturing into the right atrium is extremely uncommon. SOVA's are seen more in males than females and in Asians than other ethnic groups. Majority of the cases are diagnosed during routine echocardiography and conventional angiography. However, with the availability of other advanced imaging techniques, such as cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) has not only improved the diagnosis but also its treatment. We report the case of a SOVA affecting the right coronary sinus and its subsequent management.
