Ruptured Valsalva Sinus Aneurysm with Ventricular Septal Defect and Double-Chambered Right Ventricle without Heart Failure: A Case Report

Abstract

<jats:p>Valsalva sinus aneurysm and double-chambered right ventricle are both rare congenital cardiac anomalies. Ventricular septal defect may be present in approximately 50%-60% of patients with Valsalva sinus aneurysm or approximately 70%-80% of patients with double-chambered right ventricle. However, Valsalva sinus aneurysm, double-chambered right ventricle, and ventricular septal defect rarely coexist in the same patient. As these diseases progress, patients often complain of symptoms of heart failure, due to the shunt flow. The case of a patient with Valsalva sinus aneurysm, double-chambered right ventricle, and ventricular septal defect without symptoms of heart failure had never been reported until now.</jats:p>

Double chambered right ventricle with ruptured sinus of Valsalva: rare entity

“…Earlier report had demonstrated the occurrence of above stated three diseases in same patient. [3][4] However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report on DCRV induced by SVAs in synergy with other associated multifactor and without VSD among the Indian population. The current report describes a case of the above stated disease occurring at age of 59 years old gentleman and stresses the importance of high level of suspicion for DCRV is often required with such kind of cardiac anomalies.…”
