Abstract We report a rare case of interventricular septal
dissecting aneurysm, that resulting from ruptured sinus of Valsalva
aneurysm and paravalvular aortic root pseudoaneurysm. A 60-year-old man
presented with chest pain and palpitation, the diagnosis was confirmed
using multimodality imaging, including transthoracic echocardiography,
computer tomography angiogram and coronary angiogram. The patient
underwent the modified Cabrol procedure, repaired ruptured sinus of
Valsalva aneurysm and closured the communication of the pseudoaneurysm
in the department of cardiac
surgery. In this case report, we provide
information for clinicians diagnostic thought, and highlight the role of
multimodality cardiac imaging.
