Lactobacillus acidophilus rarely causes bacterial endocarditis, because it usually resides in the mucosa of the vagina, gastrointestinal tract, and oropharynx. Moreover, sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are rare cardiac anomalies, either acquired or congenital. We present the case of a middle-aged man whose bacterial endocarditis, caused by Lactobacillus acidophilus, led to an aneurysmal rupture of the sinus of Valsalva into the right ventricular outflow tract. The patient underwent successful surgical repair, despite numerous complications and sequelae.

Isolated sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare occurrence, with an incidence of <1.5% among congenital heart disease repairs in the world. We recount the case of a 64-year-old man who presented with right-sided heart failure symptoms caused by a severely dilated right coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm that substantially obstructed the right ventricular outflow tract. Successful surgical repair involved right ventricular outflow tract resection and subcoronary patch repair.

AbstractAn aneurysm of a single sinus of Valsalva is rare. It is usually asymptomatic and rarely discovered, unless it compresses the adjacent cardiac structures, or it presents in association with other pathology. We herein describe a case of a male, with known ischemic heart disease, collapsing after sudden back pain. A computed tomography scan demonstrated an aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva. The surgical repair aimed to exclude the aneurysm, preserving and reconstructing the aortic root.

Background: We retrospectively analyzed 65 patients who underwent surgical repair of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm over the last 27 years. Methods: From January 1, 1988, to October 1, 2015, a total of 65 patients with sinus of Valsalva aneurysm underwent surgical repair in our hospital. There were 41 males (63%) and 24 females (37%), and their age ranged from 5 to 50 years (mean 23 ± 10 years, median 21 years). Out of the 65 patients, 45 (69%) had ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, 46 (70%) had a ventricular septal defect, and 22 (34%) had aortic valve insufficiency. The ruptured sinus of Valsalva was repaired with patch in 12 cases and direct suturing in 33 cases. The aortic valve was replaced in five patients and the aortic root was replaced in five patients. Results: Sixty patients (92%) survived the 30-day operative interval. At one year follow-up, only two patients had complications: infective endocarditis and sepsis, which lead to septic shock (n = 1) and paraprosthetic leakage and mitral valve regurgitation (n = 1). All the other patients were well and in New York Heart Association functional class I or II. Conclusion: In this relatively high-risk population, repair of SVA can be achieved with satisfactory early results.
