چکیده

We report the case of a Caucasian man with the unusual combination of an infundibular ventricular septal defect (VSD), an aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva communicating with the right ventricle, and a bicuspid aortic valve. When aortic valve regurgitation associated with mild right aortic cusp prolapse appeared during follow-up examination, the patient, although totally asymptomatic, underwent surgical repair of the aortic sinus and closure of the VSD.

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...

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

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 ...
