A 12-year-old male patient with complete heart block was diagnosed by cardiac catheterization to have an unruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva eroding into the interventricular septum. Aortic regurgitation was absent and he underwent permanent pacemaker implantation. Three years later, he was readmitted with severe aortic regurgitation and left ventricular failure. The pacemaker was replaced and the patient underwent successful patch closure of the aneurysm and aortic valve replacement. The mode of presentation, noninvasive methods of evaluation, and surgical management of this rare cardiac pathology are discussed.

Rupture sinus of Valsalva is a relatively rare condition. We report a rare case of ruptured left sinus of valsalva with aneurysm, presenting with acute left ventricular failure. Transthoracic echocardiography showed an aneurysmal dilatation of the base of interventricular septum and part of the aortic root and a marked turbulent flow from the aortic root to the left ventricle with a continuous systolodiastolic shunting. The patient underwent successful repair of ruptured sinus of valsulva with closure of fistula. During Ventriculotomy the defect was repaired using pledgeted 5/ 0 prolene interrupted sutures and pericardial patch.

Aortico-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly and constitues of less than 0.1% of all congenital cardiac defects (1). ALVT is described as an abnormal connection between the ascending aorta and the left ventricul which originates commonly above the right sinus of valsalva. Most patients are diagnosed with an ALVT during early infancy (2). Although transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is more effective in diagnosis of ALVT, misdiagnosis rate was 17.1% (3). Sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is frequently confused with ALVT (3). We report a term female newborn with SVA in echocardiographic examination but in surgery she was diagnosed with ALVT.
