Unusual Presentation of Heart Failure Secondary to Ruptured Aneurysmal Sinus of Valsalva: A Case Report ()
ABSTRACT
Sinus
of Valsalva Aneurysm (SOVA) arises from an abnormal dilation of the aortic root, leading to enlargement
between the aortic annulus and the sinotubular junction. Although often
presenting without symptoms, these aneurysms
bear the potential for life-threatening complications, primarily from the looming risk of rupture. We present the case of a 42-year-old Malay
gentleman with a history of bilateral pedal edema and dyspnea on exertion who was diagnosed with a ruptured sinus of Valsalva
aneurysm. The patient underwent successful surgical repair of the aneurysm,
leading to symptomatic improvement and favorable outcomes. This case
highlights the importance of early diagnosis
and prompt surgical intervention in managing this uncommon condition.
