[Rupture of an Aneurysm of the Right Sinus of Valsalva Into the Pericardium;Report of a Case].
A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon cardiac anomaly. The aneurysm usually ruptures into the cardiac cavity, and rupture into the pericardial cavity is unusual. A 69-year-old man was admitted to our hospital after collapse due to cardiac tamponade. Computed tomography revealed a ruptured right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (5 cm) with massive pericardial effusion. The right coronary artery arose from the aneurysm. Severe aortic regurgitation due to the lack of coaptation of the valves was detected by echocardiography. Emergency patch closure of the aneurysm orifice, aortic valve replacement, and coronary artery bypass grafting to the right coronary artery were performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 28 in good health.
