title: [A rare complication after surgical correction of the rupture of Valsalva's sinus aneurysm into the right heart ventricle].
abstract: Postsurgical myocardial infarction in a 68-year-old female was observed after occasional compression of the coronary artery by a teflon gasket when P-like suture was applied on the anterior wall of the right ventricle in the course of surgical intervention for closure of the aortic-right-ventricular fistula. The latter had formed after the rupture of Valsalva's sinus aneurysm into the right ventricle this being the cause of the surgery. The authors propose how to document the diagnosis and medical death certificate in similar cases.
