[A case report of successful repair for ruptured aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva (I VSD) with aortic regurgitation].
A nineteen-year-old female who had history of infectious endocarditis underwent surgical repair for ruptured aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva with aortic regurgitation. Through aortotomy mild degree of prolapse of right coronary cusp and perforation of left coronary cusp sized 6 mm in diameter were recognized and the latter was thought to be the dominant lesion resulting in severe aortic regurgitation. Following direct closure of ruptured aneurysm and patch closure of ventricular septal defect, perforated left coronary cusp was repaired with autologous pericardium. Post operative course was uneventful and she is now doing well.
