Abstract
Idiopathic rupture of aortic valve commissure is an extremely rare cause of acute aortic regurgitation. Here, we report a case of commissural rupture with giant root aneurysm and history of chronic aortic regurgitation, emphasizing the diagnostic value of high-quality three-dimensional reconstructions of multimodality imaging in assessing the cause of abruptly deteriorating valve regurgitation.
