Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Causing Acute Right Heart and Hepatorenal Failure Requiring Urgent Surgery

A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare cardiac anomaly that may be congenital or acquired. Very rarely, they present with acute symptoms as a result of rupture into the cardiac chamber. If left untreated, they almost always result in deteriorating cardiac function. We report a patient presenting with acute right heart failure and hepatorenal syndrome requiring urgent surgery and double patch repair.

Combined left ventricular non-compaction and Ebstein's anomaly.

A 49-year-old woman was admitted with acute cholecystitis. Significant history included a diagnosis of Ebsteins anomaly at age 18 and congestive heart failure during two previous pregnancies. Cardiac examination revealed a murmur of tricuspid regurgitation. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed Ebsteins anomaly with non-compaction of the left ventricle. The patient …
