Key result
A patient presenting with severe aortic regurgitation was diagnosed with a rare quadricuspid aortic valve on echocardiography and underwent a surgical approach.
Why the study?
Quadricuspid aortic valve is a very rare congenital heart condition that can present as aortic regurgitation in the fifth to sixth decade of life.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the clinical presentation, echocardiographic diagnosis, and surgical management of a rare quadricuspid aortic valve causing severe regurgitation.
Raises awareness of quadricuspid aortic valve in severe regurgitation; extends sparse case literature but leaves open prospective data needs.
A quadricuspid aortic valve is a very rare congenital heart condition that can present as aortic regurgitation in the 5th and 6th decade of life. The following case report will describe a patient who presented with symptoms of severe aortic regurgitation and was found to have a quadricuspid aortic valve on echocardiography. The case will describe the clinical manifestations in which the patient presented and the subsequent diagnosis of the quadricuspid aortic valve. The rationale for the surgical approach will also be discussed, along with the patient’s clinical response.
