Infundibular ventricular septal defect, aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva, and bicuspid aortic valve in a caucasian male.
نویسندگان
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 64-year-old man was admitted with unstable angina pectoris. He had been followed-up at outpatient clinics for mild to moderate aortic regurgitation and bicuspid aortic valve. He developed complete atrioventricular block (AVB) and underwent permanent pacemaker implantation 9 years previously. Cardiac catheterization showed severe stenosis at the left main trunk, as well as unexpected unrupture...

Echocardiographic features of two cases of ruptured congenital aneurysm of Valsalva sinus with (case I) and without (case 2) a supracristal ventricular septal defect were studied before and after surgery by standard echocardiography, M-mode scan and twodimensional echocardiography. Discontinuity was observed in the echo from the aneurysm wall of the Valsalva sinus in case I with ruptured aneury...

متن کاملA 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 ...
