Background: Ruptured aneurysms of sinus of Valsalva are defects of the aortic media, which are uncommon yet present concomitantly with either ventricular septal defect, aortic insufficiency or both. Here, we analyse retrospectively outcomes of patients operated on in the last two decades. Patients and Methods: 151 cases of ruptured aneurysms of sinuses of Valsalva were treated here between January 2000 and December 2020. The majority (96%) arose from the right coronary sinus. The right ventricular outflow was the most common site of rupture (56.2%). Ventricular septal defect was associated in 24 patients (16%) all of whom had ruptured right sinus, of which 8 (33%) were of subpulmonic subtype. Aortic incompetence was found in 45 patients (43.3%). Elective surgery was offered to 78 patients (51.6%), while the rest had defects closed by interventional devices. Surgical conversion for device embolization occurred in 12 patients (7.94 %). The defect was closed through the aortic root in 13 patients (14.4% of 90) and employing the bicameral technique (root and ruptured chamber) in the remaining 87 patients. 18 patients (20%) underwent aortic valve repair while 5 (5.5%) underwent aortic valve replacement. Results: We had no hospital deaths, however 4 operated patients (2.6%) had comorbidities. Follow‐up ranged from 1 to 20 years (mean 13 ± 5). There were 3 deaths in this period, and among the majority, quality of life was uneventful. Conclusion: Surgical correction for ruptured aneurysms of Valsalva provides prudent results and must be the preferred modality of treatment in acute and chronic presentation.

Abstract Background A rare, but serious, complication following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the occurrence of an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect (VSD). Case summary We describe a case of an 80-year-old female who was referred with severe aortic stenosis for TAVR. Following thorough evaluation, the heart team consensus was to proceed with implantation via a transapical approach of an ACURATE neo M 25 mm valve (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA). The valve was deployed harnessing transoesophageal echocardiographic (TOE) guidance under rapid pacing with post-dilation. Directly afterwards a very high VSD close to the aortic annulus was detected. As the patient was haemodynamically stable, the procedure was ended. The next day another TOE revealed a shunt volume (left-to-right ventricle) between 50% and 60%. Because the defect was partly located between the stent struts of the ACURATE valve decision was made to fix this leakage with implantation of a further valve and we chose an EVOLUT Pro 29 mm (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA). The valve-in-valve was implanted 2–3 mm below the lower edge of the first valve, more towards the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) with excellent result: VSD was reduced to a very small residual shunt without any hemodynamic relevance. Discussion We suggest that an iatrogenic VSD located near the annulus may be treated percutaneously in a bail-out situation with implantation of a second valve that should be implanted slightly more into the LVOT to cover the VSD.
