title: Transcatheter device closure of multiple defects in ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
abstract: Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) with multiple communications, ventricular septal defect, and aortic regurgitation are still best treated surgically. We report a case of 30-year-old male with right SOVA, with two communications with right ventricle. Both communications were successfully closed using antegrade and retrograde approaches, respectively.
