Rare Presentation of Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Treated by Aortic Valve Reimplantation Technique

Abstract Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare cardiac abnormality which can be acquired or of congenital origin. A spontaneous rupture into the right atrium is possible and, if not adequately treated, may result in a progressive heart failure due to the left-to-right intracardiac shunt. If ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is diagnosed, surgical repair is indicated, and different surgical techniques have been reported. If concomitant aortic regurgitation is present, aortic valve replacement is usually performed. Herein, we describe an uncommon clinical presentation of a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm which has been corrected by aortic valve reimplantation.
