Abstract

Aneurysms of sinuses of Valsalva (ASOV) are thin-walled saccular or tubular outpouchings of the aortic sinuses, which can be either congenital or acquired. They can rupture into heart chambers, the pulmonary artery, or the pericardial space (Perloff, Clinical recognition of congenital heart disease, [8]). This report presents a rare case of a patient with treated infective endocarditis who had a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a coronary cameral fistula, and a ruptured ASOV (RASOV) into the left ventricle (LV). Successful transcatheter closure of the ruptured ASOV and the other two lesions was performed using three Amplatzer duct occluders (AGA Medical Corporation, Golden Valley, MN, USA).
