Transthoracic Echocardiography versus Transesophageal Echocardiography for Rupture Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm
We report a rare case of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm of both right and left coronary sinus (LCS), with perforation of the LCS opening into the left ventricle. The LCS aneurysm with its perforation was undiagnosed on transthoracic echocardiography emphasizing the role of transesophageal echocardiography in delineating the anatomy.
متن کاملRole of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Rupture of Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm with Associated Infective Endocarditis
Introduction: Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) may have associated infective endocarditis in which case single aneurysm may drain into adjacent chamber of heart via multiple openings. We report a rare case of congenital SOVA with associated infective endocarditis where intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) helped in localizing two separate openings in the SOVA draining into right...
متن کاملGiant ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm: diagnosis on echocardiography.
A giant ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was diagnosed on transthoracic and subsequent transesophageal echocardiography, in a 45-year-old man who presented with gradual onset shortness of breath. Although the initial presentation was insidious, he later rapidly deteriorated. We discuss the unusual clinical course in a patient with such a large aneurysm and discuss the likely reasons.
متن کاملNonexercise stress transthoracic echocardiography: transesophageal atrial pacing versus dobutamine stress.
OBJECTIVES To compare transesophageal atrial pacing stress echocardiography with dobutamine stress echocardiography for feasibility, safety, duration, patient acceptance and concordance in inducing wall motion abnormalities. BACKGROUND Transesophageal atrial pacing is an effective method of increasing heart rate and has been used in the assessment of coronary artery disease. METHODS Both te...
متن کاملپارگی آنوریسم سینوس والسالوای راست به داخل بطن راست در یک خانم 30 ساله با نقص همزمان دیواره بین بطنی
Aneurysms of sinus of Valsalva are rare cardiac abnormalities. They are dilatations of the aortic sinuses and are classified as congenital or acquired. If located in the right coronary sinus they are usually ruptured into right heart chambers and frequently a ventricular septal defect coexists with this condition. This paper reports a 30-year-old woman with ruptured aneurysm of the right sinus ...
