Introduction: We present three cases of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm concomitant with a cardiac lesion in 2 cases of ventricular septal defect and 1 case of bicuspid aortic valve with mild aortic insufficiency. Case presentation: In 2/3 cases, the site of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm originated from right coronary cusps and one from non-coronary cusps. Both ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm from right coronary cusps communicated to right ventricle, and one that originated from non-coronary cusps ruptured to right atrium. All cases were diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography and confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography. Two underwent the surgery, while one did not want to continue treatment. Conclusion: ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare cardiac anomaly. In the Eastern countries, the most common associated anomalies with ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm are ventricular septal defect and aortic regurgitation. Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm mainly originates from right coronary cusps and is ruptured into  right ventricle. Transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography are employed to confirm the diagnosis. In this cohort, the coexistences of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with ventricular septal defect and aortic regurgitation (case 1), ventricular septal defect (case 2), aortic regurgitation and  bicuspid aortic valve  (case 3) are observed.

Congenital cardiac abnormalities are not always found in isolation. We describe a case of a giant right coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with anomalous left circumflex artery in a 46-year-old male with bicuspid aortic valve and prior ventricular septal defect repair.

Background: Ruptured aneurysms of sinus of Valsalva are defects of the aortic media, which are uncommon yet present concomitantly with either ventricular septal defect, aortic insufficiency or both. Here, we analyse retrospectively outcomes of patients operated on in the last two decades. Patients and Methods: 151 cases of ruptured aneurysms of sinuses of Valsalva were treated here between January 2000 and December 2020. The majority (96%) arose from the right coronary sinus. The right ventricular outflow was the most common site of rupture (56.2%). Ventricular septal defect was associated in 24 patients (16%) all of whom had ruptured right sinus, of which 8 (33%) were of subpulmonic subtype. Aortic incompetence was found in 45 patients (43.3%). Elective surgery was offered to 78 patients (51.6%), while the rest had defects closed by interventional devices. Surgical conversion for device embolization occurred in 12 patients (7.94 %). The defect was closed through the aortic root in 13 patients (14.4% of 90) and employing the bicameral technique (root and ruptured chamber) in the remaining 87 patients. 18 patients (20%) underwent aortic valve repair while 5 (5.5%) underwent aortic valve replacement. Results: We had no hospital deaths, however 4 operated patients (2.6%) had comorbidities. Follow‐up ranged from 1 to 20 years (mean 13 ± 5). There were 3 deaths in this period, and among the majority, quality of life was uneventful. Conclusion: Surgical correction for ruptured aneurysms of Valsalva provides prudent results and must be the preferred modality of treatment in acute and chronic presentation.
