ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm accompanied by aortic and tricuspid valve endocarditis: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
a ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm rarely accompanies the aortic and tricuspid valve endocarditis. a 36-year-old woman presented with low-threshold dyspnea on exertion and fever. transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed a ruptured noncoronary sinus of valsalva aneurysm with large vegetations on the tricuspid and aortic valves, resulting in moderately severe tricuspid regurgitation and severe aortic regurgitation. blood culture was negative. the patient was initially treated with antibiotics and then subjected to the surgical repair of the sinus of valsalva aneurysm and the tricuspid and aortic valve replacement. the patient's postoperative period was uneventful, and she was discharged healthy.

متن کاملRuptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm association with bicuspid aortic valve
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly and comprises less than 1% of congenital cardiac defects. It can be congenital or acquired. Echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are noninvasive imaging procedures primarily used for diagnosis. A 47-year-old patient with a history of asthma was admitted through the emergency department which dyspnoea that had started ...
متن کاملBicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
متن کاملSimultaneous Aortic and Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis due to Complication of Sinus of Valsalva Rupture
We experienced a case of ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva, and this resulted in simultaneous aortic and tricuspid valve endocarditis through a shunt. The echocardiography showed a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm to the right atrium with a shunt. The aortic non-coronary cusp was fibro-thickened with vegetation. Vegetations of the septal leaflet and the anterior leaflet of the tricu...
متن کاملRuptured aneurysm of aortic sinus of Valsalva into right ventricle.
We report a patient with ruptured aneurysm of the aortic sinus of Valsalva into the right ventricle, whose heart murmur represented only a diastolic element without aortic regurgitation. Surgery revealed a small opening through myocardium of the ventricular septum without ventricular septal defect. During systole, the opening was constricted and presumably closed with myocardial contraction, an...
متن کاملRuptured Valsalva Sinus Aneurysm to Pericardium Simulated Aortic Root Dissection
Ruptured valsalva sinus aneurysm to pericardium is a rare condition. Here, we described a case presented with tamponade. Initially, hemopericardium was partially drained and then, imaging evaluations were done. Transesophageal echocardiography showed limited dissection of aortic sinus and CT angiography of the ascending aorta showed deformed dilated right coronary sinus. Besides, surgery showed...
