ABSTRACT

Rupture of a Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in adults is extremely rare. We present the case of a 25-year-old patient with rupture of the noncoronary Sinus of Valsalva into the right atrium and endocarditis in the tricuspid valve. The treatment was surgical, performing repair with a pericardial patch on the aneurysm, resection of vegetation and tricuspid plasty. We emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment due to the high associated mortality.
