We present a patient with bilateral unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms involving both the left and right coronary sinuses. The large left sinus aneurysm protruded into the left atrium and the right sinus aneurysm extended into the interventricular septum, producing a transient complete heart block.

The dissection of the sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the interventricular septum leading to complete heart block is a rare complication with only few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of young farm laborer, who presented with multiple episodes of syncope. Upon clinical evaluation, we found third-degree atrioventricular block due the rupture of right sinus of Valsalva into the interventricular septum.

A previously healthy 44-year-old Caucasian man presented with recurrent syncope and was found to have a complete heart block with a ventricular rate of 24 bpm. No biochemical abnormalities were identified. Tick borne illnesses were ruled out. Paced echocardiogram revealed left ventricular systolic dysfunction with septal hypokinesis. Chest radiography and subsequent CT scan did not reveal adenopathy. However, a positron emission tomography scan demonstrated increased fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the spleen, a right retro-clavicular lymph node, right ventricle and the interventricular septum of the heart. Excision biopsy of the retro-clavicular lymph node revealed non-caseating granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis. Complete heart block persisted despite steroid treatment. A pacemaker/biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator was placed for complete heart block and primary prevention of ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death.
