Abstract
Rupture of the sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a surgical emergency. It can be fatal if not treated properly and on time. In this report, we present a 39-year-old male patient with no known disease who was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of pressure-such as chest pain, chest tightness, and an inability to breathe easily after a heavy meal at night. Thoracic and abdominal computed tomography angiography was performed to better evaluate the vascular structures; the ascending aorta diameter was 71 mm (wider than normal). Hemorrhagic fluid was observed in the pericardial space and paracardiac recesses. The preliminary diagnosis was a rupture of the right SVA, and emergency surgery was performed. The posterior aorta was found to have ruptured at the level of the right sinus of Valsalva, and anastomosis was performed on the torn portion. The patient was extubated 8 h after surgery. On the 7th post-operative day, transthoracic echocardiography was within normal limits, and he was discharged from the hospital on the 8th day in good condition with stable vital signs.
