Quadricuspid Aortic Valve: Interesting Images

Ann Card Anaesth. 2024 Jan 1;27(1):51-52. doi: 10.4103/aca.aca_110_23. Epub 2024 Jan 12.ABSTRACTThe quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital anomaly, usually associated with aortic regurgitation requiring surgical intervention. It may be associated with other congenital anomalies such as coronary anomalies, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, and subaortic stenosis. The diagnosis is generally established by either transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography. Herein, we report a case of a 52-year-old woman who was diagnosed to have quadricuspid aortic valve by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.PMID:38722121 | PMC:PMC10876132 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_110_23
