Detection of ruptured aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva by contrast two-dimensional echocardiography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The M-mode and two dimensional echocardiographic features are described of a patient with rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the right atrium. A clear echo-free zone arising from the tip of the aneurysm is visualised in the right atrium in diastole by peripheral injection of echocardiographic contrast material. At surgery a fistula was seen between the non-coronary cusp and the right atrium.

This paper reports a 30-year-old woman with ruptured aneurysm of the right sinus ...
متن کاملExtremely rare case of a rupture of the left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the main pulmonary artery
We describe a case of ruptured aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva diagnosed by transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography. A very few cases with ruptured left sinus of Valsalva have been reported. We are reporting a rupture of the left sinus of Valsalva into the main pulmonary artery in a 40-year-old male diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography.
