title: Reticent uneventful rupture of right coronary sinus of valsalva aneurysm into right ventricle.
abstract: Aneurysms of sinus of Valsalva are rare congenital or acquired cardiac anomalies. They most commonly involve the right or non-coronary sinuses. Herein we report a very rare case of a ruptured congenital right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the right ventricular outflow tract followed conservatively for at least 10 years without any events.
