Key result
A review of 12 new cases and previously reported patients with quadricuspid aortic valve was conducted to further characterize the diagnosis, clinical course, and management of this rare anomaly.
Case Report (n=12)
This report adds 12 new cases of the rare quadricuspid aortic valve anomaly to the literature to help further characterize its diagnosis and clinical course.
Adds cases to sparse quadricuspid aortic valve literature; extends characterization but leaves management open.
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is rare and its diagnosis, clinical course, and management are less well defined relative to other aortic valve abnormalities. Advances in diagnostic imaging, notably in ultrasound, have increased clinical awareness of this anomaly and prompted this review of our experience with 12 new patients and a compilation of previously reported patients to further characterize this condition.

Jagannath et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) (n=12). Quadricuspid aortic valve was evaluated. A review of 12 new cases and previously reported patients with quadricuspid aortic valve was conducted to further characterize the diagnosis, clinical course, and management of this rare anomaly.
