Surgery for Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm into Right Ventricular Outflow Tract: Role of Intraoperative 2D and Real Time 3D Transesophageal Echocardiography

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Issue 7 2010
Shrinivas Gadhinglajkar M.D.
A major limitation of the 2D echocardiography during surgery for a complex cardiac lesion is its inability to provide an accurate spatial orientation of the structure. The real time 3D transesophageal echocardiography (RT-3D-TEE) technology available in Philips IE 33 ultrasound machine is relatively new to an operation suite. We evaluated its intraoperative utility in a patient, who was operated for repair of a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSOVA) and closure of a supracristal ventricular septal defect. The VSD and RSOVA were visualized through different virtual windows in a more promising way on intraoperative RT-3D-TEE than on the 2D echocardiography. The acquired images could be virtually cropped and displayed in anatomical views to the operating surgeon for a clear orientation to the anatomy of the lesion. RT-3D-TEE is a potential intraoperative monitoring tool in surgeries for complex cardiac lesions. (Echocardiography 2010;27:E65-E69) [source]

Severe Right Ventricular Outflow Obstruction by Right Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Issue 3 2010
Anil Avci M.D.
Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are rarely diagnosed cardiac anomalies, occurring in 0.14%,0.96% of patients who have undergone open heart surgical procedures. The most common congenital anomalies accompanying sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) are ventricular septal defect, bicuspid aortic valve, atrial septal defect, and coarctation of aorta. We report a patient with an unruptured right SVA presenting with severe right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction, and coexisting patent foramen ovale (PFO) with a right to left shunt. It could be assumed that the increase in right atrial pressure due to RVOT obstruction had led to a right to left shunt across the patent foramen ovale. (Echocardiography 2010;27:341-343) [source]

Rupture of a Right Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm into the Right Ventricle During Vaginal Delivery: A Case Report

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Issue 10 2005
F.E.S.C., Josip Vincelj M.D., Ph.D.
A case is reported of a right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm rupture into the right ventricle during vaginal delivery in a 34-year-old healthy woman in her third pregnancy. Pregnancy was carried to term and a healthy baby was delivered vaginally. On day 7 following vaginal delivery she was admitted to hospital for dyspnea and cough, with clinical signs of severe heart failure. The diagnosis of the right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm rupture into the right ventricle was established by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. Clinical recognition and early echocardiographic diagnosis followed by immediate surgical repair proved lifesaving in our patient. (ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Volume 22, November 2005) [source]

Giant Unruptured Noncoronary Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm

JOURNAL OF CARDIAC SURGERY, Issue 3 2009
Sirous Darabian M.D.
We report a 32-year-old woman presenting with exertional dyspnea in which a giant unruptured noncoronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was detected after echocardiography. The aneurysm was surgically repaired and the aortic and mitral valves were replaced. [source]

Giant Cell Aortitis and Noonan Syndrome

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE, Issue 4 2008
Shaji Menon MD
ABSTRACT An 18-year-old girl with Noonan syndrome was diagnosed with progressive aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending aorta. Histopathological examination revealed giant cell aortitis. Connective tissue abnormalities leading to aortic root dilatation and the sinuses of Valsalva aneurysm have been reported in Noonan syndrome. This report is the first description of giant cell aortitis in Noonan syndrome and may provide a link between aortic aneurysm, and giant cell granuloma of bone in Noonan syndrome. [source]
