Overview

Overview

In patients with an aneurysm of the sinus of valsalva, the typical path of blood flow is disrupted by the presence of the aneurysm. The severity of circulatory complications depends largely on the size of the aneurysm and any accompanying defects. A major complication involves the rupturing of an aneurysm which can cause large-scale hemmorhaging throughout. Below are videos showing the rupture of an aneurysm of the sinus of valsalva.
