Abstract

JIMENEZ-GARCES, Vanesa G. et al. Rupture of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm to the right atrium resolved with interventionism. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.93, n.3, pp.355-359.  Epub Sep 04, 2023. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.220000191.

We present a case of a ruptured right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm to the right atrium that developed global heart failure over the course of three months, and which was completely resolved through cardiac catheterism, placing an occlusive device at the site of the fistula. Its ethology is discussed, as well as the guidelines for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Keywords : Aneurysm; Sinus of Valsalva; Heart failure; Percutaneous occluders.
