The occurrence of a giant ruptured aneurysm originating from the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva in the right atrium is extremely rare. Herein, a case is presented of a giant ruptured noncoronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) that was protruding into the right atrium, which was almost completely occupied by an aneurysm. A 61-year-old female was referred to the hospital for exertional palpitation and dyspnea. While a surgical repair was performed by resection of the aneurysm and a sinus remodeling with a patch of fresh bovine pericardium, a very rare case was observed. It was a giant ruptured noncoronary sinus of aneurysm that completely occupied the right atrium, which was difficult to distinguish from the coronary aneurysm. It is also believed that various imaging examinations, such as cardiac computed tomography angiogram (CCTA) and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), were useful for the diagnosis.

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.

AbstractAn aneurysm of a single sinus of Valsalva is rare. It is usually asymptomatic and rarely discovered, unless it compresses the adjacent cardiac structures, or it presents in association with other pathology. We herein describe a case of a male, with known ischemic heart disease, collapsing after sudden back pain. A computed tomography scan demonstrated an aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva. The surgical repair aimed to exclude the aneurysm, preserving and reconstructing the aortic root.

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SoVA) is an uncommon clinical entity, which is present in roughly 0. 09% of the general population. The cause can either be acquired or congenital. Clinically the SoVA of unruptured status are rarely captured or even diagnosed due to atypical clinical presentations. Here, we present a rare case of exertional angina pectoris and recurrent syncope due to an extrinsically compressed left coronary artery by a giant SoVA in a 50-year-old female patient. This SoVA was successfully repaired by the surgical exclusion and the patient was still doing well after 2 years of follow-up.
