Key result
Multimodality imaging with TTE, CT, and CMR enables diagnosis of rare quadricuspid pulmonary valve dysfunction.
Why the study?
Quadricuspid pulmonary valve is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly with clinical significance due to potential pulmonary valve dysfunction and importance in surgical procedures like the Ross operation.
Case Report (n=1)
Increased imaging detection warrants inclusion in pulmonary valve differentials; extends anatomic descriptions but leaves open prognostic data.
Quadricuspid pulmonary valve (QPV) is a rare congenital cardiac entity. The recognition of QPV has clinical significance as it can cause pulmonary valve dysfunction. It is also important to recognize this condition in patients undergoing the Ross procedure. We report a case of QPV diagnosed by computed tomography with associated pulmonary stenosis and right ventricular hypertrophy.

Khan et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Quadricuspid pulmonary valve (n=1). Quadricuspid pulmonary valve was evaluated. Quadricuspid pulmonary valve is a rare congenital anomaly that can cause pulmonary valve dysfunction, and its diagnosis is increasingly achieved through imaging modalities like transthoracic echocardiography, CT, and CMR.
