A Rare Case of Severe Aortic Regurgitation with Silent Ascending Aortic Dissection
Authors
Abstract:
Classically, ascending aortic dissection (AD) presents as sudden, severe chest pain that is tearing type and radiates to the back. Herein, we present a rare case of severe aortic regurgitation with silent ascending AD, which had no chest pain symptoms. The aortic valve apparatus probably masked this AD; therefore, it was not detected by echocardiography and during the surgery.

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.
