Quadricuspid aortic valve with ascending aortic aneurysm: a case report and histopathological investigation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the case of a 69 year-old woman with a dilated ascending aorta, who presented with aortic valve regurgitation due to a quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV). There are only a few reports in the literature describing aortic replacement and subsequent aortic valve replacement for a malfunctioning QAV. We discuss the pathogenesis of the dilated ascending aorta in this patient and the indication for ascending aorta replacement in such cases.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...

Although classic and standard procedure for patients with ascending Aorta aneurysm with Sever aortic Regurgitation is Bentall surgery but in some selected cases this complex surgery was not performed with different reason like advanced age and coexisting comorbidity involving renal and hepatic and lung Function.

متن کاملQuadricuspid aortic valve: a report on a 10-year case series and literature review.
Quadricuspid aortic valve is rare, with an estimated incidence of 0.008% to 1.46%. Most cases are encountered incidentally during aortic valve surgery or autopsy. The condition frequently progresses to aortic regurgitation, which can manifest in adulthood and may require surgical treatment. This anomaly may sometimes be associated with other malformations, the most common being coronary artery ...
متن کاملQuadricuspid aortic valve: a rare cause of aortic regurgitation and stenosis.
Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital condition that occurs not only as an isolated anomaly, but also with other cardiac defects. We describe a 10-year-old boy whose aortic stenosis was diagnosed during infancy. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed dilation of the left ventricle, valvular and subvalvular aortic stenosis, bicuspid aortic valve, aortic regurgitation, and mitral valve ...
متن کاملAortic root replacement with a valve-sparing technique for quadricuspid aortic valve.
A 67-year old man with ascending aortic aneurysm was referred because of a quadricuspid aortic valve. He underwent aortic root replacement with a valve-sparing technique. Under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, replacement of the ascending aorta was successfully performed. The postoperative course was uneventful without recurrence of aortic regurgitation.
