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.
