title: Surgical removal of failed ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm device.
abstract: A Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm can cause aortic insufficiency, coronary artery flow compromise, cardiac arrhythmia, or aneurysm rupture. There are different management plans available, ranging from open surgery to percutaneous device closure, but sometimes, device closure may be life-threatening. We report a case of ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm in a 42-year-old woman, which was managed by percutaneous device closure that failed and required surgical removal of the device.
