Percutaneous Closure of a Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm under Transesophageal Echocardiography Guidance. CASE (Philadelphia, Pa.) Li, X. E., McElhinney, D. B., Lui, G. K., Clark, D. E., Woo, J. P. 2024; 8 (3Part A): 186-192

Abstract

• SOVA is a rare cardiac anomaly. • Ruptured SOVA carries a high mortality rate. • SOVA often coexists with other congenital lesions, most commonly VSD and bicuspid AV. • Ruptured SOVA needs repair; percutaneous repair is a safe alternative to surgery. • Echo plays a vital role in both diagnosing SOVA and guiding percutaneous closure.
