Dissecting aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva into interventricular septum and rupturing into left ventricle through multiple sinuses: a rare case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ruptured sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) is a rare disorder, which usually involves the right coronary sinus (RCS) or the non-coronary sinus (NCS) and ruptures usually into the right-sided chambers. Involvement of the left coronary sinus (LCS) and multiple sinuses, rupture into the left ventricle (LV), and dissecting aneurysm of the interventricular septum (IVS) have all been scarcely reported.

Case summary

A 24-year-old male presented with complaints of exertional fatigue, palpitations, and chest pain with signs of aortic run-off like wide pulse pressure, collapsing pulse along with cardiomegaly, and a diastolic murmur. Echocardiography revealed sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SOVAs) involving both the RCS and LCS with RCS aneurysm dissecting the IVS and rupturing into the
