The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of echocardiography in the diagnosis of sinus of Valsalva aneurysms projecting toward the right heart cavities. Three patients who had a ruptured aneurysm of a sinus of Valsalva diagnosed by echocardiography and confirmed by catheterization underwent cardiac surgery. In two patients, the aneurysm originated from the right coronary sinus and had perforated into either the inflow or outflow tract of the right ventricle. In the third patient, the aneurysm, which originated from the noncoronary sinus, ruptured into the right atrium. A fourth patient was also investigated and had an unruptured aneurysm of the right coronary sinus projecting into the right ventricular outflow tract. |
