Giant unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with complete heart block.

Project description:In this rare case report of giant unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA), a 17-year-old male presented with sudden onset syncope due to complete heart block (CHB). An emergency evaluation was done with the help of transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and cardiac catheterization with support of temporary pacemaker. The obvious distorting effects of a giant SOVA dissecting into interventricular septum were CHB, significant regurgitation of tricuspid and mitral valve, mild regurgitation aortic valve and biventricular dysfunction. The case was treated by repair of SOVA and posterior mitral ring annuloplasty. CHB improved to sinus rhythm on 11th day after surgery. On follow-up, tricuspid valve regurgitation improved to mild regurgitation and he continued to have mild aortic regurgitation. <Learning objective: Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) may present with cardiac emergency without rupture. A giant unruptured SOVA competes for space with neighboring intra cardiac structures. The distorting effects are erosion into interventricular septum, complete heart block (CHB), valvular and ventricular dysfunction. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography provide enough information for emergency surgery. Sometimes, evaluation may need cardiac catheterization and computed tomography. Immediate surgery saves life. CHB may improve on follow-up.>.

Giant unruptured aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva presenting as acute coronary syndrome: a case report.

Project description:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that can be congenital or acquired. Unruptured aneurysms may be asymptomatic but can present as malignant arrhythmias, acute chest pain, and even sudden cardiac death. Both ruptured and unruptured SVAs may have fatal complications, thus prompt diagnosis and surgery is critical. We report a successful surgical repair of an unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva presenting as acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography (CAG) and cardiac multislice computed tomography (CT) revealed a large unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva. Surgical repair was performed by resection of the aneurysm, aortic valve replacement with composite graft, and coronary artery bypass. Aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva is an extremely rare condition. Correct diagnosis can be done by echocardiography, CAG, or CT. Non-ruptured aneurysms should be surgically repaired if they are associated with significant symptoms or if their size enlarge rapidly.

Unusual double-chambered right ventricle induced by ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm: A case report.

Project description:A 54-year-old male with a history of unrepaired ventricular septal defect (VSD) suffered from easy fatigability on exertion. A Levine grade V/VI continuous murmur was auscultated. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) and a significant left-to-right shunting from the ascending aorta to the right ventricle (RV). In addition, a 36 mmHg of pressure gradient was observed between the inflow and outflow tract in the RV, suggesting double-chambered RV (DCRV). Cardiac catheterization also revealed 33 mmHg of the pressure gradient in the mid-potion of the RV, which was coincident with DCRV. A calculated pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio was 3.0. Therefore, the patient was offered surgical repair of the ruptured SVA and VSD, which was successfully performed. During the surgery, an anomalous muscle band, which is usually the cause of DCRV, was not found, instead, a thickened RV free-wall due to the exposure of the left-to-right shunt flow, so-named jet lesion, was found. Therefore, surgical resection of the anomalous muscle band was not required. The protruded SVA toward the RV, the jet lesion, and the increased RV stroke volume, which could induce relative stenosis, were the causes of the unusual DCRV. <Learning objective: A mechanism of an unusual double-chambered right ventricle induced by ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is as follows. One is a morphological stenosis in the right ventricle (RV) due to a protruded SVA toward the RV. The second is a jet lesion; a thickened RV wall induced by the exposure of the shunt flow from the ascending aorta. The third is a relative stenosis due to the increased stroke volume of the RV.>.
