Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare, abnormal dilation the aortic root. Although often asymptomatic, SVAs can be manifested with variety symptoms, including rupture, which highly lethal condition. Most are small, and most patients present in single coronary sinus. We describe case 69-year-old man presenting ventricular tachycardia cardiac arrest 2 SVAs, giant one arising from right sinus...

RATIONALE Ruptured aneurysm originating from the left coronary sinus of Valsalva into the left ventricle (LV) is extremely rare. Imaging features of sinus aneurysm has been commonly reported using echocardiography or angiography. Here, we report multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings of left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm extending into the LV and caused severe aortic regurgitation (AR) ...

OBJECTIVES To describe a normal heart left bundle branch block, inferior axis ventricular tachycardia (VT), that could not be ablated from the right or left ventricular outflow tracts. BACKGROUND Whether these VTs are epicardial and can be identified by a specific electrocardiographic pattern is unclear. METHODS Twelve patients with normal heart left bundle branch block, inferior axis VT an...

Formation of an aneurysm in the sinus of Valsalva of the aortic root is usually due to an area of congenital weakness in its wall. This aneurysm may progressively dilate and rupture into any of the cardiac chambers or into the pericardial cavity. Though this is conventionally treated by surgery, interventional therapy using various closure devices is becoming more common. Embolization of these ...
