A Case of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect Associated with Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Mimicking Membranous Septal Aneurysm.

ABSTRACT: Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are rare. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are frequently associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and aortic regurgitation. They often remain asymptomatic until abruptly presenting with acute chest pain and heart failure secondary to rupture. Here, we describe a case of 20-year-old man who presented with chest pain with a history of VSD. Initial work-up concluded that the patient had VSD associated membranous septal aneurysm. Four years later, the patient presented with symptoms of heart failure. Work-up showed that the ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was the cause of symptoms. Due to its close proximity to the aortic annulus, sinus of Valsalva aneurysm should be differentiated from membranous septal aneurysm.

Association of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm and congenital ventricular septal defect: a case series.

Project description:BackgroundRuptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSOVA) is rare, and it is more common in Asians. Typically, the patient presents with acute/subacute shortness of breath (SOB) and chest pain. Echocardiography is the gold standard for diagnosis in most of these cases. Surgery has remained the first line of management.Case summaryWe present two cases of RSOVA in which the patients presented to the emergency department with SOB. Their preoperative echocardiography results showed RSOVA into the right ventricle. During surgical repair, ventricular septal defect (VSD) was also found.DiscussionRSOVA is frequently associated with other congenital anomalies, and most often with VSD. In our cases, we believe that VSDs were missed preoperatively because either the large aneurysmal sacs covered the VSD or there was overlap between the two shunts. Additionally, in the first case, right ventricular pressure was high approaching systemic pressure, which probably reduced the shunt across the VSD. Early intervention is recommended to prevent endocarditis or enlargement of the ruptured aneurysm; long-term results were excellent after surgical repair. Most patients undergo surgery between 20 and 40 years of age, and the reported survival rate is 95% at 20 years. If left untreated, patients typically die of heart failure or endocarditis within 1 year after onset of symptoms.

Ventricular Septal Aneurysm Mimicking Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Mass in a Patient With Ventricular Septal Defect.

Project description:A 50-year-old man presented with an episode of chest pain. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed the presence of a large ventricular septal aneurysm partially closing a perimembranous ventricular septal defect, prolapsing into the right ventricular outflow tract, and mimicking a mass. We illustrate the diagnostic approach and management of such ventricular septal aneurysms. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

A ventricular septal defect with a giant appendiform aneurysm of the membranous septum.

Project description:We report a case of a 39-year-old female with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and a giant appendiform aneurysm of the membranous septum, illustrated by echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. From the literature a short review of the prevalence of spontaneous closure of VSDs together with the possible complications of persisting VSDs is presented. Since patients stay at risk in later years, follow-up at regular intervals is advised.

Percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect using patent ductus arteriosus occluders.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PmVSD) using patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occluders.BackgroundWidespread use of conventional PmVSD closure devices has been limited by unacceptable high rate of complete heart block (CHB). The elegant design of PDA occluders is supposed to ease implantation, increase closure rate and minimize damage to adjacent structures. Thus, PDA occluders may reduce complications, especially the CHB, and offer a good alternative for PmVSD closure.MethodFrom September 2008 to October 2015, patients who underwent attempted percutaneous VSD closure using PDA occluders were included in the study. Patient demographics, echocardiography measurements, procedure details and follow-up data until October 2017 were collected.ResultsIn total, 321 patients with a mean age of 15.5±12.6 years and mean a weight of 33.3±20.5 kg were included in this study. The mean defect size was 4.8±2.1 mm. Implantation was successful in 307 (95.6%) patients. The median follow-up time was 63 months (24 to 108 months). The closure rates were 89.5%, 91.5%, and 99.3% after the procedure 24 hours, 6 months and 2 years, respectively. Major complications occurred in 5 (1.7%) patients during the procedure and follow-up, including persistent CHB in 2 (0.7%) patients and device embolization in 3 (1.0%) patients. No death, disability, or other major complication was detected.ConclusionPercutaneous closure of PmVSD using PDA occluders is feasible, safe and efficacious in selected patients.

Coronary artery aneurysm with a fistulous connection to the right atrium mimicking a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.

Project description:Coronary artery aneurysms are uncommon and may be complicated by rupture, thromboembolic phenomenon, and more rarely fistulation into one of the cardiac chambers. This case report highlights the difficulty in making a preoperative diagnosis of a coronary artery aneurysm that has fistulated into the right atrium, and lists possible differential diagnoses.

Transcatheter Closure of Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm with Double-Disc Perimembranous VSD Occluder in Man with Mechanical Aortic Valve.

Project description:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, a rare cardiac anomaly, can be life-threatening if it ruptures. Transcatheter closure has emerged as an effective alternative to surgical management; however, it has rarely been reported in patients with previous mechanical aortic valve replacements. We describe the case of a 45-year-old man who presented with a ruptured aneurysm of the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva 14 years after the implantation of a mechanical aortic valve. The ruptured aneurysm was closed by transcatheter means with use of a double-disc perimembranous ventricular septal defect occluder. The patient remained asymptomatic one year after the procedure. Our case suggests that transcatheter closure with use of this type of occluder is a viable method for successfully repairing ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms in patients who have mechanical aortic valves.

Right Valsalva Sinus Aneurysm Protruding Into the Right Ventricle: A Case Report.

Project description:A separation between the aortic media and annulus fibrosus causes a rare cardiac abnormality called sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) that may be congenital or acquired. It is more prevalent in the right coronary sinus (65%-85%) but it has been seen rarely in non-coronary (10%-30%) or Left coronary sinus (<5%). The most common complication is rupture of the Aneurysm. We present an 80-year-old male with expanding right Valsalva sinus aneurysm and protruding into right ventricle. The conventional treatment is surgical repair under cardio-pulmonary bypass or percutaneous catheter closure. The aneurysm was successfully excised surgically under direct guidance of trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE).
