title: Recurrent right atrial thrombus after repair of ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm.
abstract: Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare cardiac abnormality. Early surgical repair is indicated to prevent complications such as heart failure, infective endocarditis, arrhythmias, and thromboembolic events. The authors report an unusual case of recurrent right atrial thrombus after the surgical repair and closure of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
