| Abstract: | A neonate with severe congestive heart failure due to rupture of the right sinus of Valsalva into the right ventricle is described. The initial diagnosis was made with colour Doppler echocardiography and confirmed by aortography. Patch closure of the sinus of Valsalva defect was performed successfully on the 3rd day of life. |
