Abstract EN
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is associated with vascular aneurysms that can affect any part of the vascular tree, like ascending aorta or coronary arteries.
Sinus of Valsalva is known as an anatomical dilation at the root of aorta above the aortic valve and very few cases show aneurysm at that site in patients with ADPKD.
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) can present with rupture and acute heart failure and infective endocarditis or could be asymptomatic accidentally discovered during cardiac catheterization.
We report a case of a 76-year-old male with a unique constellation of cardiovascular anomalies associated with ADPKD.
Patient was previously diagnosed with aneurysms affecting ascending aorta, sinus of Valsalva, and coronary arteries.
Several years later, he came with complete heart block which was discovered later to be secondary to enlargement of his previously diagnosed thrombosed SVA.
His case was complicated with acute heart failure and pulmonary edema.
Conclusion.
Patients with ADPKD can present with extrarenal manifestations.
In our case, aneurysm at sinus of Valsalva was progressively enlarging and presented with complete heart block.
