Case Report: Myocardial dissection caused by ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in association with a bicuspid aortic valve.

ABSTRACT: In this report, we present a case of left-right sinus fusion in a Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSVA) that perforated into the myocardium, giving rise to myocardial dissection. The existence of an anomalous bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is contemplated as a potential etiological element in this context. Employing multimodal imaging modalities, encompassing transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography (CT), facilitated the visualization of a dissecting hematoma situated within the myocardium subsequent to the RSVA. Following this, our patient underwent an Cabrol surgical intervention, received patch repair, and underwent mitral valve annuloplasty, during which a three-year period transpired without the occurrence of any deleterious cardiac events. In summary, this report esta
