Simultaneous transcatheter closure of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm and stent implantation for aortic coarctation

Abstract: Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare anomaly and an associated coarctation of aorta is even rarer. A combination of such defects is traditionally treated surgically. The surgery is necessarily staged and done through different approaches. We report successful simultaneous transcatheter treatment of both these defects performed in the same setting in an acutely ill adult male patient with a good intermediate-term follow-up.

“…In the literature, we can fi nd several reports of the combined presence of aortic coarctation and RSVA, 10,11 these are, however, extremely rare occurrences that can be only found in about 1-2% of RSVA cases. 11 In general, the coarctation of aorta is mostly associated with other cardiovascular defects. In a post-mortem study in infants and young individuals, a bicuspid aortic valve, which has been also present in our case, was the most frequent anomaly associated with aortic coarctation in patients who died at the age older than 6 months (present in approx.…”
