Abstract EN
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare condition and associated with a high rate of mortality if rupture occurs.
The aneurysms are rarely diagnosed until rupture occurs.
This case describes a young Native American female whose only symptom was intermittent chest pain prior to the detection of the aneurysm along with a small ventricular septal defect.
The patient was also found to have a coexisting coronary artery fistula, and it is rare phenomenon to have these coexisting anomalies.
The anomalies were demonstrated on both cardiac computed tomography and coronary angiography.
The patient underwent surgical closure of both anomalies, which is the recommended treatment to avoid future complications.
