Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSOV) (most commonly right sinus), a rare finding but well-recognized clinical entity. Invariably a form of left-to-right shunt due to rupture into right-sided chambers. A ruptured sinus of valsalva may lead to life threatening complications including myocardial ischemia, obstruction of right ventricle outflow tract and cardiac tamponade especially in acute rupture. Thus, it warrants urgent surgical or percutaneous repair. We present a case of CAD-TVD which w...
