Case Report: We report the case of a 63-year-old patient who underwent aortic valve replacement with a biological valve for a bicuspid aortic stenosis, and LIMA-IVA single-bypass surgery. Two weeks later, he presented with Enterococcus faecillis bacteremia, attributed to left pyelonephritis and successfully treated with Amoxicillin. Two months after his surgery, he had a new bacteremia due to Enterococcus faecalis and we discovered a pseudo-aneurysm of the mitro-aortic trigone.

The ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSOV), a rare but well-recognized clinical entity, is invariably a form of left-to-right shunt due to rupture into right-sided chambers. It causes profound hemodynamic effects, especially when the rupture is acute. Like most other left-to-right shunts, it was only a matter of time before this rare defect also became amenable to transcatheter closure (TCC).

Article Synopsis
  • Ruptured sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) is a rare heart condition mainly affecting the right coronary sinus or the non-coronary sinus, typically resulting in ruptures into right-sided heart chambers.
  • A 24-year-old male patient exhibited symptoms like fatigue and chest pain, with diagnostic imaging revealing multiple sinus of Valsalva aneurysms affecting both the right and left coronary sinuses, necessitating successful surgical repair.
  • The involvement of multiple sinuses and ruptures into the interventricular septum are very rare, with significant risks like complete heart block and sudden death, highlighting the importance of thorough diagnostic methods and timely treatment.
