Article Abstract

Background: Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare congenital disease that can cause severe clinical presentations when the aneurysm ruptures. Here, we report a rare case of a noncoronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with rupture into the right atrium.

Case Presentation: A 14-year-old Chinese female patient presented viral myocarditis with acute heart failure at the local hospital, and she was finally diagnosed with a noncoronary sinus Valsalva aneurysm with rupture into the right atrium by digital subtraction angiography with cardiac catheterization angiography and echocardiography at our hospital (Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University). Percutaneous closure intervention was performed shortly after her diagnosis, and the patient showed good functional recovery.

Conclusions: We report a case of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm successfully treated by percutaneous closure, which is an excellent alternative treatment.
