About Repair Ruptured Aneurysm Sinus of Valsava on CPB

Repair of a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a major, life-saving cardiac surgery. The sinus of Valsalva is a pouch-like dilation in the aortic root, near the heart valves. When it ruptures, it creates an abnormal connection (fistula) between the aorta and a heart chamber, causing severe heart failure. This procedure involves opening the chest (sternotomy), placing the patient on a heart-lung machine (CPB) to temporarily take over circulation, and then surgically closing the rupture. The defect is typically repaired with a synthetic patch (e.g., Dacron) or direct suturing to restore normal aortic anatomy and prevent further complications. It is a complex operation performed by a specialized cardiac or vascular surgeon.

Key Highlights

    Life-saving intervention for a critical cardiac emergency.Definitive repair prevents progressive heart failure and other fatal complications.Restores normal blood flow and pressure within the heart chambers.Performed using advanced cardiopulmonary bypass technology for safety.Utilizes durable synthetic materials for a long-lasting repair.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Confirmed rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, diagnosed via echocardiogram or cardiac catheterization.
  • Acute onset of symptoms like chest pain, severe shortness of breath, and signs of heart failure.
  • Development of a continuous heart murmur due to the aortic-cardiac fistula.
  • Heart chamber enlargement or strain caused by the abnormal shunt of blood.
  • Failure of medical management to stabilize the patient's condition.

How to prepare

  • Emergency stabilization in an intensive care unit (ICU) with medications to support heart function.
  • Comprehensive imaging: Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) and often aortography to precisely define the rupture site.
  • Blood tests, including complete blood count and coagulation profile.
  • Informed consent process explaining the critical nature and risks of the surgery.
  • Pre-operative antibiotics to prevent infection.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding and need for blood transfusion.
  • Stroke or other neurological events due to emboli or CPB.
  • Heart rhythm abnormalities (arrhythmias).
  • Infection of the surgical site, sternum, or heart valves (endocarditis).
  • Kidney dysfunction related to contrast dye or CPB.
  • Residual or recurrent shunt requiring re-intervention.
  • Rarely, injury to the heart's electrical system requiring a pacemaker.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial 1-2 days in the Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care Unit (CSICU) for close monitoring.
  • Pain management and breathing exercises to prevent lung complications.
  • Gradual mobilization and transition to a step-down cardiac ward.
  • Discharge with instructions on sternal (breastbone) wound care and activity restrictions.
  • Lifelong follow-up with a cardiologist, including periodic echocardiograms.
  • Cardiac rehabilitation program to safely rebuild strength and endurance.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 7-14 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks
