In this report, we present a 37-year-old male with ruptured right sinus of Valsalva. He was treated by percutaneous closure of the rupture using the retrograde approach. The procedure was performed successfully within 26 minutes. We think this approach may be used in future instead of the antegrade approach.

Keywords: Aortic aneurysm, angioplasty, balloon, coronary; echocardiography, transesophageal; sinus of Valsalva; ventricular/ therapy.
