AbstractThe sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a relatively rare condition that may be congenital or acquired. We present a case of a young man who was admitted to the emergency department with acute dyspnoea whilst playing football. After investigation, the diagnosis of a ruptured right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the right atrium was made. The patient also had a bicuspid aortic valve. Percutaneous approach to close the fistula was unsuccessful and the patient underwent surgical closure of the fistula with replacement of his bicuspid aortic valve.

Abstract We report on a patient with bicuspid aortic valve and anomalous right coronary artery from the opposite sinus without evidence of intramural course. Different authors support the universal presence of intramural course in patients with origin of the right coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva in normal heart. The occurrence of both bicuspid aortic valve and the absence of intramural course may not be accidental. This might suggest a developmental interaction between bicuspid aortic valve and anomalous coronary artery. Large observational study including characterisation by intravascular ultrasonography in patients with bicuspid aortic valve and anomalous coronary is needed.

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SOVA) are rare cardiac abnormalities that are most commonly congenital in origin and frequently associated with aortic valve pathology. Unruptured SOVA are more frequently identified currently, owing to the increased use and accuracy of diagnostic investigations. Early surgical intervention is recommended to prevent complications. We describe a case of a young patient with an enlarging right SOVA and a regurgitant bicuspid aortic valve who subsequently underwent simultaneous patch repair of the SOVA and primary aortic valve repair.

A 19-month-old girl with trisomy 21 and a congenitally bicuspid aortic valve died following a short febrile illness. Autopsy disclosed pericarditis, epimyocardial abscess, infective endocarditis, and a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. Microscopy demonstrated continuity between the aortic wall and valve leaflet, consistent with an acquired aneurysm. Abnormal hemodynamics associated with the valve malformation likely facilitated endocarditis.
