Abstract

A 34-year-old male was admitted with presumed acute, severe aortic regurgitation. Multimodal imaging was performed and showed a ruptured right coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the right atrium. He underwent a percutaneous closure of the ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. The patient had major clinical improvement.

Keywords: 3D echocardiography; percutaneous closure; sinus of Valsalva aneurism.
