Ruptured aneurysm of sinus of valsalva with ventricular septal defect: the role of transesophageal echocardiography in diagnosis.
We present a case of ruptured aneurysm of sinus of valsalva (ASV) along with subaortic ventricular septal defect (VSD). Transesophageal echocardiographic examination in addition to transthoracic echocardiography provides more powerful information about ASVs and coexistent cardiac malformations. This may be additional value for the cardiac surgeon planning resection of the lesion.
