%X <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Sinus
of Valsalva Aneurysm (SOVA) arise</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">s</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> from an abnormal dilation of the aortic root, leading to enlargement
between the aortic annulus and the sinotubular junction. Although often
presenting without symptoms, these aneu</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">rysms
bear the potential for life-threatening complications, primarily from</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> the looming risk of rupture. We present the case of a 42-year-old Malay
gentleman with a history of bilateral pedal edema and dyspnea on exertion who </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">was diagnosed with a ruptured sinus of Valsalva
aneurysm. The patient underwent successful surgical repair of the aneurysm,
leading to symptomatic </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">improvement and favorable outcomes. This case
highlights the importance of </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">early diagnosis
and prompt surgical intervention in managing this uncom</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">mon condition.
