Here, we present a case of ruptured sinus Valsalva aneurysm with fistulous communication between the right coronary aortic sinus and the right ventricle in 8 year old boy. Ruptured sinus Valsalva aneurysm is rare. And several reports are describing its pathophysiologic features, clinical findings and management. This patient was asymptomatic and the physical examination revealed palpable thrill and Grade III pansystolic murmur at the 3rd and 4th intercostal space along the left sternal border. There was an oxygen step up from right atrium into right ventricle on the cardiac catheterization reports. On 15th July 1981, an open heart surgery was performed and we found ruptured right coronary sinus Valsalva aneurysm into the right ventricle, which was managed successfully by doing direct pledget sutures. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Ventricular aneurysm which was first described by John Hunter on 18th century, has been experienced by many surgeons after successful using of cardiopulmonary bypass by Cooley on 1958. According to Gorlin, the definition of ventricular aneyrysm is portion of the ventricle which is not motile at systole (akinesis) or which has paradoxical dilatation at systole(dyskinesis). The ventricular aneurysm is classified to anatomical and functional. The anatomical ventricular aneurysm is devided into true or false again. Average age incidence is ranged from 49 to 60 and male predominance is reported. The cause is ischemic coronary artery disease in almost cases but hypertropoc cardiomyopathy, congenital abscence of myocardium, complication after mitral valvular replacement and trauma may also cause the ventricular aneurysm. Angina pectoris and congestive heart failure are most common clinical manifestations Ventricular tachycardia and systemic embolization are also complained. Using cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy alone or combination with coronary artery revasculization are currently done for surgical treatment with steady improvenment of mortality. The first patient was 33 years old man who had true type of ventricular aneurysm on inferior wall the left ventricle near apex with protruded huge organized thrombus. The thromboembolic phenomenon was noted on both lower extremities. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy and thrombectomy were done. The aneurysmal orifice was repaired with Teflon buttless suture. The second patient was 30 years old female who had large true type of ventricular aneurysm on inferior wall of the left ventricle. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy with repair of aneurysmmal orifice defect by means of double layered Dacron patch was done with reinforce by outer silastic sheet covering. She was discharged from hospoital at post op. 15th day uneventfully.

This is a case report of surgically treated rupture of Valsalva Sinus aneurysm combined with VSD. He has been relatively healthy until about one month before admission, when during bath, he felt abruptly palpitation, left chest pain and exertional dyspnea. These symptoms have progressed. On admission, thrill was palpable and continuous machinery murmur was audible on 2nd and 3rd intercostal space along the left sternal border. A rupture of Valsalva`s sinus aneurysm was confirmed by aortography and echocardiography but a small VSD was found by cardiotomy in open heart surgery. On 11th Sep. 1978, open heart surgery was performed. Valsalva`s sinus aneurysm came out from right coronary aortic sinus and ruptured into the right ventricle. It sized 1.2X1.5X1.5 cm. Ruptured opening was noted on apex of aneurysm [0.8X0.8cm], VSD [1. 0X0. 3cm in size] was just below the aortic annulus. The aneurysmal sac was removed on neck. After that, VSD and aneurysmal orifice were closed together with interrupted mattress sutures on same plane. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged three weeks after open heart surgery.

심근경색 후 좌심실 후방 기저부에 생기는 좌심실류는 생각보다 발생 빈도는 높음에도 불구하고 외과적 치료에 대한 보고는 심첨부에 생기는 좌심실류에 비교할 때 극히 적은 실정인데, 이는 수술이 용이하지 않으며 수술 후 결과가 예측하기 어렵다는데 그 원인을 찾을 수 있겠다. 금번 저자들은 심근경색 후 좌심실 후방기저부에 생긴 좌심실류 1례에서 심실내 원형첨보성형술을 시행하여 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

외상에 의한 흉부손상중 좌심실류와 하행대동맥류는 매우 드문데 그 이유는 아마도 대부분의 환자가 사고 당시 즉시 사망하기 때문일 것이다. 본 예는 5세 남자 환아로 버스에 치어 급성호흡부전과 폐부종으로 인한 ARDS 로 다발성 장기부전이 발생하여 뇌경색과 신부전의 합병증이 동반되어 치료후 퇴원하여 외래 추적조사중 심초음파 검사상 좌심실류와 전자자기공명(hm))상 좌심실류 및 하행대동맥류 진단하에 외상후 74일만에 전순환 정지하에 좌심실류절제술과 하행대동맥류절제술 및 인조혈관대체술을 시행하였으며, 술후 환자는 특별한 문제없이 퇴원하였다.

Congenital aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva is one of the rare congenital heart disease, which is usually asymptomatic until rupture. The aneurysm usually ruptures into a cardiac chamber and produces an aorto-intracardiac fistula. Ruptured aneurysm is a grave lesion in that it causes heart failure and subsequent death. If, however, it is discovered in its early stages and operated on properly, it can be corrected with considerable success. Form January 1975 through December 1984, 18 consecutive patients with congenital aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva underwent corrective surgery using total cardiopulmonary bypass in our department of Thoracic Surgery. 1. The incidence was about 0.9% of surgical cases of congenital heart disease during that period. 2. 13 were males and 5 females, with ages ranging 12 years to 52 years. 3. Associated anomalies were VSD in 14, infundibular PS in 1, aberrant muscle band in RVOT in 1, and secondary aortic insufficiency in 9. 4. 17 were suggested to arise from right coronary sinus and 1 from noncoronary sinus; Among 17, 12 ruptured into right ventricle, and one from noncoronary sinus into right atrium. 5. Surgical correction was performed by means of direct suture closure with combined pledget or patch graft after aneurysm resection, and associated lesions were also corrected simultaneously. 6. There was only one case of operative mortality, and all the other patients were relatively uneventful in their follow-up studies.

We experienced 6 patients with the sinus Valsalva aneurysm rupture during last 12 years [Jan. 1977-Sep. 1989]. Of them. 5 cases were reviewed. They consist of 3 males and 2 females, and the age ranged from 12 years to 40 years with the mean age of 25 years. 4 patients showed congestive heart failure symptoms. The diagnosis was made by 2D-Echo and cine-angiogram. In 4 patients. sinus Valsalva aneurysm ruptured from the Rt. coronary sinus to the Rt. ventricle, and in one from non-coronary sinus to the Rt. atrium. In 2 cases, resection of the aneurysm and simple stitch closure was made. Resection of the aneurysm k patch closure and AVR in one, closure of the fistula, AVR and patch closure of the associated VSD in one, and closure of the fistula, AVR k TVR in one were made in another 3 cases. There was no postoperative mortality case.
