A rare cause of severe aortic regurgitation: quadricuspid aortic valve.
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare cause of valve failure. Often, it is an incidental finding at transesophageal echo (TEE), surgery or post-mortem examination. This anomaly is often associated with abnormally placed left coronary ostium that could be damaged during the operation. We report a case of QAV detected incidentally during perioperative TEE.

Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is rare congenital malformation of the aortic valve with estimated prevalence of 0.013% to 0.043% [1-4]. QAV is most commonly associated with aortic insuf iciency (AI), which is found in almost 75% of cases [5]. QAV can also be associated with other cardiac defects such as ventricular or atrial septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, subaortic ibromuscular sten...
متن کاملQuadricuspid aortic valve: a rare etiology of aortic regurgitation.
Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare cause of aortic insufficiency. We report two unusual cases of this valvular pathology associated with a dilatation of the aortic root. The mechanism leading to this valve incompetence is incompletely understood and is discussed in regard to these cases.
متن کاملQuadricuspid aortic valve with aortic regurgitation: a rare echocardiographic finding.
We report on a middle-aged woman treated for chronic hepatitis C virus infection with pegylated interferon. Auscultation revealed a diastolic murmur and the peripheral signs of aortic regurgitation. She had shortness of breath on moderate exertion for the past 4 months, which she attributed to her liver disease. Echocardiogram showed a quadricuspid aortic valve with severe aortic regurgitation....
متن کاملANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY SYNDROME-A CASE OF AORTIC VALVE INSUFFICIENCY
A 31 year old woman was hospitalized for evaluation of aortic valve insufficiency and her present cardiac status. Clinical and paraclinical findings strongly suggested the presence of a collagen vascular inflammatory processprecisely, the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), with systemic lupus erythematosus as the underlying disease.
