CASE REPORTS Echocardiographic Diagnosis of Congenital Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm with Dissection Of the Interventricular Septum
نویسنده
چکیده
A case is reported in which a congenital aneurysm of the right coronary sinus of Valsalva ruptured and dissected into the interventricular septum. M-mode and cross-sectional echocardiographic examination allowed accurate preoperative assessment of the pathologic anatomy, which was confirmed by angiography, surgery and autopsy. Dissection of the interventricular septum by a congenital sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare lesion, has a poor prognosis, and can be diagnosed noninvasively with echocardiography.

متن کاملEchocardiographic manifestation of right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
This case report describes the distinctive echocardiographic pattern in a patient with a congenital right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. The eChocardiogram demonstrated an abnormal structure extending from the aortic root into the left ventricular chamber adjacent to the interventricular septum. The structure showed diastolic motion away from the septum and systolic motion toward the septum. This ...
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 کاملAneurysm of Sinus of Valsalva Dissecting Into the Interventricular Septum After Aortic Valve Replacement: Diagnosis by Echocardiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Treatment With Surgical Sealant
Aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva that causes dissection of the interventricular septum is an extremely rare entity. In this report we describe a case of aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva dissecting into the interventricular septum, from the base to mid septum, after aortic valve replacement. After the diagnosis was made by transthoracic echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging, the pati...
متن کاملA Case of Right Sinus of Valsalva Rupture with Dissection into Interventricular Septum Causing Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is an uncommon anomaly of the aorta. Rupture of SVA often precipitates dramatic clinical complications, including heart failures. Right SVAs are the most common type, and when they rupture, they usually rupture into the right ventricle or right atrium. Rupture into left ventricle or interventricular septum is rare. Herein, we report a case of right SVA rupture w...
