Abstract EN
Ruptured noncoronary sinus of valsalva aneurysm with fistulous connections to multiple cardiac chambers has not been reported previously.
We report a 66-year-old man who presented with worsening cough and exertional dyspnea.
Transesophageal echocardiogram confirmed a large aneurysm involving the noncoronary cusp of the aortic sinus with aneurysmal extension to the left atrium.
There were also two fistulous communications with the left atrium and one small fistulous connection with the right atrium.
Open-heart surgery with aortic root replacement and reimplantation of coronary arteries along with primary closure and repair of aorta to the left atrial fistula was performed.
