Abstract

We describe a case of a ruptured sinus of Valsalva with severe aortic regurgitation treated by transcatheter device closure. The regurgitation was purely due to leaflet entrapment because of the hemodynamic Venturi effect which was effectively treated.

Keywords: coronary perfusion pressure; left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
