Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are rare. Unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is usually asymptomatic and rarely presents as right ventricular outflow obstruction, myocardial infarction as a result of coronary artery compression, conduction disturbances, or endocarditis. They have only been reported as the presumed source of embolism in six cases. We report a patient with right sinus of Valsalva rupture to the right atrium and embolization of aneurysm contents to the pulmonary vasculature.
瓦氏窦瘤罕见。未破裂的瓦氏窦瘤通常无症状,很少表现为右心室流出道梗阻、冠状动脉受压导致的心肌梗死、传导障碍或心内膜炎。仅有6例报告称其可能为栓子来源。我们报告1例右瓦氏窦破裂入右心房且瘤内容物栓塞至肺血管系统的患者。
