Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm in a Patient with a Ventricular Septal Defect Who Dropped Out of Lifelong Medical Follow-up

Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSOVA) is a rare cardiac condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. We herein report a 35-year-old man with a history of ventricular septal defect (VSD). He had a history of interrupted hospital visits and presented to the emergency department with dyspnea, palpitations, and dizziness for a few days. Auscultation detected a continuous murmur. Transthoracic echocardiography followed by transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated RSOVA in the right ventricle with an aorto-right ventricular fistula. The fistula was resected, and the aneurysm was surgically repaired. The patient made a good recovery.
