a 38-year-old man with a history of recurrent genital ulceration initially diagnosed as genital herpes was admitted after presenting with paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. echocardiography revealed aneurysm formation of the sinus of valsalva. on diagnosis of an aneurysm of the sinus of valsalva associated with behçet's disease (bd), surgeon repaired the affected sinus only, and continuous steroid t...

a ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm rarely accompanies the aortic and tricuspid valve endocarditis. a 36-year-old woman presented with low-threshold dyspnea on exertion and fever. transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed a ruptured noncoronary sinus of valsalva aneurysm with large vegetations on the tricuspid and aortic valves, resulting in moderately severe tricuspid regurgi...

dissection of the sinus of valsalva is a rare and life-threatening event. it often occurs during percutaneous coronary intervention in the right coronary artery (rca). dissection flap usually involves the rca and the right sinus of valsalva. here we report two extremely rare cases of spontaneous dissection limited to the non-coronary sinus of valsalva, causing severe aortic valve regurgitation:...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none x-none background:abnormalities of the sinus of valsalva are usually congenital and quite rare among other heart deficiencies. they are frequently presented with aneurysm formation and the symptoms raised because of their existence vary. when rupture of an aneurysm occurs –more often in the right chambers of the heart -severe complications as cardiogenic ...

Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...

Fig. 1. (A) CT scan image. CT scan shows giant non-coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with neighbouring structures. Arrows indicate closed aortic valves. Ao: aorta, NC-SVA: non-coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, LV: left ventricle, PA: pulmonary artery. (B) TEE image. Trans-oesophageal echocardiography shows aortic cusps level image of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. *Arrows show aortic cusps, *...

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of modified valsalva maneuver in restoring sinus rhythm patients presenting emergency department Harapan Kita National Heart Hospital Jakarta with Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT). The method used is quantitative a pre-experimental research design. results showed that affected systolic and diastolic blood pressure heart rate, average difference b...
