Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are extremely rare, and usually of a congenital nature. There are few documented cases of this condition during pregnancy, which renders unclear the therapeutic options. We here report the case of a 26 years old pregnant woman who was referred to our cardiac center for the evaluation of a heart murmur. The two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography allowed quickly to establishthe diagnosis of a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the right ventricle. A successful surgical correction of the ruptured aneurysm was performed with patch repair.
瓦氏窦瘤极为罕见,通常为先天性。孕期发生这种情况的病例记载很少,这使得治疗方案尚不清楚。我们在此报告一例26岁孕妇的病例,该孕妇因心脏杂音被转诊至我们的心脏中心。经胸二维超声心动图迅速确诊为瓦氏窦瘤破裂进入右心室。通过补片修补术成功地对破裂的动脉瘤进行了手术矫正。
