Dual rupture of non-coronary sinus of valsalva into the right heart chambers

Rupture of the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva is a well recognized complication of aortic valve endocarditis. It may result in a hemodynamically significant left to right shunt and biventricular heart failure. We report here the case of a 27-year-old who presented with fever, worsening respiratory distress, chest pain and hemoptysis. The transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed aortic valve endocarditis with severe aortic valve regurgitation and dual rupture of the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva into the right heart chambers.
