(a) Transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrating the typical "windsock" appearance of the aneurysm of right sinus of Valsalva with rupture into right ventricle. AO-Aorta, RV-Right ventricle, LV-Left ventricle, ruptured aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva. (b) Transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography with color flow imaging demonstrates a unidirectional continuous mosaic jet from aorta into right ventricle through the ruptured right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm

Coronary sinus into right ventricle with a small perforation of 2.7 mm width giving a characteristic "windsock" appearance with a peak pressure gradient of 80 mm Hg across the shunt [Figure 1a]. Continuous wave Doppler and color flow imaging revealed a high velocity unidirectional flow from aorta into right ventricle through the shunt lesion [Figures 1b and 2].
