As aorta occupies a central position, sinus of valsalva aneurysm can rupture into any chamber of the heart, interventricular septum, pericardium and pulmonary artery. While most of the times it ruptures into the right ventricle or right atrium, rupture into the pulmonary artery is rare,2 accounting for less than 2 % of all ruptured sinuses of valsalva.
