Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are commonly associated with ventricular septal defects (VSDs). We describe a 14‐year‐old boy who presented with rupture of right sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) into the right ventricular outflow tract (through two openings) along with a residual VSD, four years after surgical closure of the VSD. Both antegrade and retrograde approaches were used to close the RSOV defects. The larger defect was closed from the venous side using an Amplatzer Duct Occluder (ADO‐I) device while the smaller defect was closed from the arterial end using and ADO‐II device. The residual VSD was also closed percutaneously using a ADO‐I device. Successful transcatheter closure of all defects was possible thereby preventing the morbidity and mortality associated with a repeat surgery. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
