Aortic sinus rupture

Rupture of aortic sinus tumor, also called Rupture's sinus tumor, is due to the lack of normal elastic tissue and muscle tissue in the aortic sinus wall, which is impacted by high pressure blood flow, and gradually forms a cystic tumor, which protrudes outward and eventually can cause rupture. . The disease is a rare congenital heart disease. Adults with this disease have a high incidence, and the condition appears suddenly and rapidly. The main clinical manifestations are sudden severe chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, and easy to cause heart failure. The surgical effect of this disease is definite, the surgical mortality rate is low, and normal heart function can be completely restored after surgery. However, severe heart failure has a high mortality rate and a slow recovery after surgery. Therefore, early surgery should be performed.
