Abstract
We report a case of rupture of an aneurysm of the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva with the tract of the fistula emerging through the tricuspid septal leaflet. This rare pathology created a diagnostic dilemma, as the direction of the jet of blood was alternating between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
