Description

A 26-year-old man had been diagnosed with a cardiac murmur from birth. In 1998, he was admitted to hospital because of slight fatigue. A grade 5/6 continuous murmur was audible near the right sternal border at the second intercostal space. Doppler echocardiography detected an abnormal flow that suggested that an aneurysm of the right coronary sinus of Valsalva had ruptured into the right ventricular inflow tract. Blood tests showed a 19% step-up in oxygen saturation value between the right atrium and right ventricle, indicating a ventricular septal defect with left to right shunt. Coronary angiography revealed a single coronary artery. Surgical repair was carried out and the patient made an uneventful recovery. This rare combination of a ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva coexisting with a ventricular septal defect and a single coronary artery has not been reported previously.
