| Abstract: | Two children with ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm are described, each with a ventricular septal defect, and in one there was also an associated discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis. The diagnostic appearance of two-dimensional echocardiography and axial angiocardiography are emphasized to allow early diagnosis and surgical repair. A literature review of recent reports in English disclosed that 13 patients under age 20 had been reported to have ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. |
