[Ruptured Aneurysm of the Sinus of Valsalva Accompanied with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve in an Elderly Man;Report of a Case].

The combination of ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva and a bicuspid aortic valve is very rare in an elderly person. A 71-year-old man with ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva and a bicuspid aortic valve had undergone an operation. He was admitted to his other hospital because of heart failure. He was transferred to our hospital to undergo treatment for ruptured aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva. At our hospital, echocardiography findings showed ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva, a ventricular septal defect (VSD), and severe aortic regurgitation with moderate stenosis of the bicuspid aortic valve. An aneurysm originating from the anterior sinus of Valsalva had ruptured into the right ventricular outflow tract. The ruptured aneurysm and VSD were repaired by patch closure through the right ventricular outflow tract. Additionally, the aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva was repaired with direct closure through aortotomy. The insufficient bicuspid aortic valve was replaced with a bioprosthetic valve. After the operation, heart failure improved promptly, and he was making satisfactory progress in his recovery.
