Aneurysm of Valsalva sinus is a rare disease of the coronary sinus, course of which may range from asymptomatic to severe heart failure

with significant left-to-right shunt in the case of its rupture. In this case, we describe an unusual case of right heart failure of a 19-year

old man, who underwent surgery for aortic coarctation and patent ductus arteriosus as a child. We diagnosed the defect of noncoronary

Valsalva sinus with significant left-to-right shunt, which was closed by pericardium.
