  Abstract

We describe a case of ruptured aneurysm of the right coronary sinus of Valsalva (ASV) diagnosed by transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography which allowed to quickly establish a correct diagnosis in a patient with a recent onset of continuous murmur and acute right congestive heart failure.

Keywords: Transthoracic echocardiography; Congenital; Coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm
