A Case of Right Sinus of Valsalva Rupture with Dissection into Interventricular Septum Causing Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is an uncommon anomaly of the aorta. Rupture of SVA often precipitates dramatic clinical complications, including heart failures. Right SVAs are the most common type, and when they rupture, they usually rupture into the right ventricle or right atrium. Rupture into l...

Descripción
Sumario:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is an uncommon anomaly of the aorta. Rupture of SVA often precipitates dramatic clinical complications, including heart failures. Right SVAs are the most common type, and when they rupture, they usually rupture into the right ventricle or right atrium. Rupture into left ventricle or interventricular septum is rare. Herein, we report a case of right SVA rupture with dissection into interventricular septum, which produced significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and aortic regurgitation. The case was successfully treated by surgical operation.
