Sinus Of Valsalva Aneurysm

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.

Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction

Unruptured right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm that causes severe obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract is extremely rare. We describe the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented with exertional dyspnea. Upon investigation, we discovered an unruptured right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with associated right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and a supracristal ventricular septal defect. To our knowledge, only 2 such cases have previously been reported in the medical literature. Although treatment of unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm remains debatable, surgery should be considered for extremely large aneurysms or for progressive enlargement of the aneurysm on serial evaluation. Surgery was undertaken in our patient because there was clear evidence of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, right-sided heart dilation, and associated exertional dyspnea.
