Abstract:
An alternative peratrial device closure technique for ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the right atrium under exclusive transesophageal echocardiographic guidance is presented. The ruptured site was occluded with a hollow probe-assisted delivery system through a fourth intercostal mini-incision. The peratrial approach provided perfect alignment and positioning for device deployment to avoid device impingement on the aortic valve. This technique may help a certain number of patients, especially those patients with a prior history of radiocontrast media allergy.
