Key result
Cesarean section and patch repair 13 days later successfully treat ruptured non-sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
Why the study?
Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms during pregnancy is rare and presents a threat to both the mother and the fetus.
Case Report (n=1)
A multidisciplinary approach is essential for managing rare ruptured non-sinus of Valsalva aneurysms during pregnancy to ensure optimal maternal and fetal outcomes.
Supports multidisciplinary staged repair for rare ruptured non-SVA in pregnancy; leaves open optimal timing and generalizability.
A BSTRACT Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms during pregnancy is rare and presents a threat both to the mother and the fetus. We report a case of ruptured nonsinus of Valsalva aneurysms in a 26-year-old woman diagnosed at 32 +4 weeks of gestation. A successful elective lower-segment cesarean section was conducted under general anesthesia. A successful surgical correction of the ruptured aneurysm under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was performed with patch repair after 13 days. A multidisciplinary approach with respect to the pregnant patient’s diagnosis, indications, and timing of surgery is necessary in ensuring the best possible outcomes for both the mother and the child.

Tt et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Ruptured non-sinus of Valsalva aneurysm during pregnancy (n=1). Cesarean section and surgical patch repair was evaluated. A 26-year-old pregnant woman with a ruptured non-sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was successfully managed with an elective cesarean section followed by surgical patch repair 13 days later.
