Abstract

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SVAs) are infrequently seen in the pediatric population. When these aneurysms rupture, a significant hemodynamic burden is placed on the heart and increases the likelihood of cardiac failure. Here, we report a case of a ruptured SVA into the ventricular myocardium in a fetus with a form of double-inlet left ventricle. To the best of our knowledge, this has not previously been described.
