Multimodal imaging of a rare interventricular septum dissecting aneurysm: A case report.

We report the case of a patient who presented with chest pain and palpitation, and in whom multimodality imaging, including transthoracic echocardiography, computer tomography angiogram, and coronary angiogram led to the diagnosis of interventricular septum dissecting aneurysm resulting from the rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm and paravalvular aortic root pseudoaneurysm. The patient underwent the modified Cabrol procedure in the cardiac surgery department. His ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was repaired and its communication with the pseudoaneurysm was closed. This case report highlights the role of multimodality cardiac imaging.
