“… 8 The congenital form of the disorder arises from the absence of continuity between the aorta and annulus fibrosus. 9 In this case, biopsy of the ruptured aorta revealed areas of myxoid degeneration in the vascular wall. Most likely, the artery wall was fragile due to the congenital anomaly in its formation.…”

Ruptured Aneurysm of the Sinus of Valsalva Causing Pulmonary Embolism: A Rare Association

Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are rare. Unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is usually asymptomatic and rarely presents as right ventricular outflow obstruction, myocardial infarction as a result of coronary artery compression, conduction disturbances, or endocarditis. They have only been reported as the presumed source of embolism in six cases. We report a patient with right sinus of Valsalva rupture to the right atrium and embolization of aneurysm contents to the pulmonary vasculature.

“…Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a congenital or acquired cardiac anomaly, yet the history of ascending aortic replacement might be considered as a risk for SVA in this case 1 . Rupture of SVA usually occurs to the right atrium or ventricle, and typically causes a continuous murmur 2 . Rupture of SVA with only a diastolic murmur, as shown in this case, is very rare.…”

“…[ 1 ] Approximately 61% of SVA originate from the right sinus of valsalva, while SVAs originating from noncoronary (26%) and left sinuses (12%) are exceedingly rare. [ 2 ] In this actual review, rupture or fistula from the noncoronary sinus to the left atrium was extremely rare (1.5%). [ 2 ]…”

Sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac disease. The most common complication of SVA is rupture into the right atrium or right ventricle. Rupture into the left chambers is very rare. Patients with ruptured SVA are likely to die of heart failure or endocarditis. We present a 29-year-old man who was hospitalized for hepatic transplantation with rupture of SVA. Transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography showed rupture of a noncoronary SVA into the left atrium. Mitral valve infective endocarditis developed and surgery was planned for the patient, but the patient died due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
