[A case of congenital sinus of Valsalva-right ventricule fistula].

A 58-year-Old male was admitted to our hospital because of heart murmur. This heart murmur had been first noticed when the patient was 7 years old, but he had no other symptoms. Color Doppler echocardiography and aortography showed that there was no deformity in the sinus of the Valsalva or in the connection to the right ventricle. Data of cardiac catheterization revealed that the shunt rate was 57% and Qp/Qs was 2.35. He was diagnosed as having congenital fistula of the Valsalva sinus to the right ventricle and an operation was recommended.
