Abstract
Fenestrated aortic valve is a frequent condition which is, for most of the time, asymptomatic and generally has no influence on aortic valve competence. However, aortic valve regurgitation could occur, especially in the case of fibrous strand rupture. In this situation, acute aortic regurgitation is poorly tolerated and requires urgent surgical correction. Herein is presented the case of a 70-year-old patient who was admitted as an emergency for acute heart failure after coital exertion. Echocardiography revealed severe acute aortic regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse. Intraoperative inspection of the valve showed a strand rupture of the isolated fenestration.
