Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm that fistulizes into the right atrium
Abstract: The Valsalva sinus aneurysm is a rare entity in the general population, with an incidence between 0.14 and 3.5% in open-heart surgeries, with a wide clinical spectrum and both electrical and mechanical complications. We present the case of a patient with an aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva that fistulized to the right atrium and was complicated with heart failure. The echocardiographic images that were useful to establish the diagnosis and the therapeutic measures are shown, as well as a review of the topic.
