J Clin Ultrasound. 2021 Oct;49(8):799-802. doi: 10.1002/jcu.22991. Epub 2021 Mar 3.

Abstract

Aortic sinus aneurysms are mainly congenital malformations that can involve the left, right, and noncoronary sinus. Rupture of the noncoronary sinus aneurysms is rare, and its mechanisms and complications are still imperfectly known due to the rarity of this condition. A case of multiple organ dysfunction caused by a ruptured noncoronary sinus aneurysm has been reported.

Keywords: aortic sinus aneurysm; congenital disease; echocardiography; multiple organ dysfunction.
