Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 40-year-old man with Down syndrome presented with right heart failure. He was markedly obese and had severe developmental delay. There was marked edema and an early diastolic sound. Transthoracic echocardiography suggested a right heart mass. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed an unruptured balloon-like sinus of Valsalva aneurysm within the right atrium that obstructed the tricuspid orifice. The patient died in hospital of mixed obstructive and/or septic shock. |
