Double chambered right ventricle with ruptured sinus of Valsalva: rare entity

Valsalva sinus aneurysm (SVAs) and double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV)is an uncommon congenitalheart defect and are usually associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD) in 50% to 60% of patient抯 population. The current case report had documented a 59 years old hypertensive asymptomatic male with a known case of SVAs presented to our hospital following device closure for 6 months. On examination, the patient was diagnosed to have DCRV induced by SVAs prior to the closure along with other factors. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report on DCRV induced by SVAs in synergy with other associated multifactors and without VSD among the Indian population.

A rare case of mucormycosis in heart transplantation

Mucormycosisis the third most common invasive fungal infection with a high mortality rate seen in immunocompromised patients. It is an increasingly well-reported invasive fungal infection that affects recipients of solid-organ transplant. The incidence of mucormycosis in patients with heart transplants ranges from 0 to 0.6%. We reporteda case of mucormycosis in a young heart transplant male recipient.
