Morphology, Clinical Associations, and Pathologic Follow-up of Quadricuspid Aortic Valves in Children

In conclusion, QAV is a rare congenital anomaly and about half of the cases are found in hearts that are otherwise structurally normal. A relatively high prevalence is seen in patients with TOF, pulmonary stenosis, skeletal deformities, and genetic syndromes. Meticulous evaluation of aortic valve morphology should be conducted on echocardiograms performed for these indications.
