“…On the other hand, significant pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular enlargement related to ruptured SoVA are not consistent findings in the literature. 12,22,23 When present, right ventricular enlargement most likely represents an acute finding due to excessive diastolic flow from the aorta into the right-sided chambers, and may be associated with echocardiographic markers of right ventricular volume overload, such as a "D" shaped septum in diastole, which was seen in our patient, as well.…”

“…11 SoVA is present in less than 1% of the Western population; however, its prevalence is reported as up to 3% in Eastern Asian patients. 12 The typical age at presentation is the mid-twenties with a 5:1 Asian predominance. SCVSD appears to be a predisposing factor for SoVA, likely related to limited annular support of the aortic elastica due to failure of the embryologic conal ridges to fuse.…”

Supracristal ventricular septal defect (SCVSD), a defect of the infundibular portion of the interventricular septum just below the right aortic cusp, occurs more frequently in Eastern Asian populations. SCVSD may be complicated by right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SoVA). We present the case of a 26-year-old male of Korean descent with a history of a childhood murmur who was referred to our institution for progressive heart failure symptoms. He was diagnosed with SCVSD and ruptured right SoVA based on history, physical exam, and echocardiography including three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography with reconstructed surgical views. The patient underwent SCVSD closure, SoVA excision, and valve-sparing aortic root replacement. We reviewed the echocardiography literature regarding SCVSD and SoVA, and analyzed contemporary literature of SoVA and its relationship with SCVSD. We conclude that a higher prevalence of ruptured SoVA in Eastern Asians is likely related to a higher prevalence of underlying SCVSD in this population.

A 46-year-old man presented with a complaint of effort dyspnea. On transthoracic echocardiography a circle appeared in LVOT. It was seen freely floating, disappearing in every systole and appearing again in diastole. Turbulence was seen inside the circle with color Doppler. Transesophageal echocardiography showed aortic cusps and their coaptation to be normal. Aortic root diameters were normal at the annulus, sinus of Valsalva, and sinotubular junction. There were no signs of dissection, infective endocarditis or abscess. But as the probe was advanced, left sinus of Valsalva was found to be prolapsed, and ruptured into LVOT.
