title: [Echocardiographic study of 4 cases of dilatation of the sinus of Valsalva].
abstract: Four cases of dilatation of the sinus of Valsalva with or without rupture were studied by echocardiography before surgical correction. In three cases the dilatation affected the right anterior sinus with rupture into the right atrium or ventricle. In the other case dilatation of the right anterior sinus dissecting the interventricular septum was associated with an aneurysm of the left anterior sinus dissecting the free wall of the left ventricle.
