Abstract

We report a contained rupture of a right coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, in which repair resulted in symptomatic improvement. Patients often present with symptoms secondary to rupture of the sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into one of the cardiac chambers, or secondary to the compression of adjacent structures. Whereas sinus of Valsalva aneurysms and their rupture are well reported in the literature, contained ruptures have been described only rarely. In those cases, symptoms often arose from compression of adjacent structures. Although transesophageal echocardiography is considered to be the diagnostic method of choice, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography can be equally helpful in establishing the diagnosis and delineating the lesion. Diagnosis and prompt repair in our 64-year-old patient resulted in the rapid resolution of his symptoms.
