Abstract

We present the case of a 10-month-old female with a right coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with rupture into the right atrial appendage who presented with a murmur. Surgical repair was performed shortly after diagnosis with pericardial patch closure from within the aorta and closure of the right atrial rupture site. To our knowledge, this is the youngest child with sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with rupture to be identified in the literature.
