Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Causing Acute Right Heart and Hepatorenal Failure Requiring Urgent Surgery

Abstract

A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare cardiac anomaly that may be congenital or acquired. Very rarely, they present with acute symptoms as a result of rupture into the cardiac chamber. If left untreated, they almost always result in deteriorating cardiac function. We report a patient presenting with acute right heart failure and hepatorenal syndrome requiring urgent surgery and double patch repair.
