J Am Soc Echocardiogr. 1996 Mar-Apr;9(2):190-4. doi: 10.1016/s0894-7317(96)90028-0.

Abstract

We report a case of dissection of the ventricular septum by two aneurysms of the right and left coronary sinuses of Valsalva. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography allowed accurate preoperative assessment and postoperative evaluation.
