Single coronary ostium in a patient with quadricuspid aortic valve combined with aneurysmal ascending aortic dilatation
BACKGROUND The presence of a fourth aortic valve cusp (quadricupsid aortic valve) is a rare congenital malformation and is often accompanied by other anomalies of the adjacent cardiovascular structures. Among these concomitant anomalies, simultaneous association of both a single coronary ostium and aneurysmal ascending aortic dilation in combination with the quadricupsid aortic valve has not be...
متن کاملA quadricuspid aortic valve causing moderate aortic regurgitation.
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare cause of aortic regurgitation. Most cases are detected incidentally during echocardiography, angiography, autopsy or surgery. It may also be associated with other congenital anomalies of the heart. A 70 year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a five-month history of dyspnea. Echocardiographic examination showed a QAV leading to moderate aorti...
متن کاملQuadricuspid aortic valve with aortic regurgitation.
A 51-year-old man presented to the hospital with symptoms suggestive of an embolic stroke, including slurred speech. The patient’s history included mild aortic regurgitation, which was detected by means of transthoracic echocardiography 3 months before presentation. Transesophageal echocardiographic findings confirmed mild aortic regurgitation (panel A) and revealed a quadricuspid aortic valve ...
متن کاملMetallothionein link to bicuspid aortic valve-associated ascending aortic dilatation.
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect, occurring in 1% to 2% of the general population.1 Given the high incidence of sequelae, including aortic valve calcification and dysfunction, congenital aortic malformations, and aortic dilatation and dissection, it may account for considerable morbidity and mortality compared with other congenital cardiac abnormalities. Th...
متن کاملStability of ascending aortic dilatation following aortic valve replacement.
BACKGROUND Replacement of the ascending aorta (Asc Ao) at the time of aortic valve replacement (AVR) is controversial because the risk of progressive dilatation following valve replacement is uncertain. Our aim was to determine the natural history of ascending aortic dilatation following AVR. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 185 patients undergoing AVR at our institution between 1992 and 1999. ...
