Quadricuspid Aortic Valve: Report of Two Cases and Brief Review [PDF]
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital cardiac defect characterized by the presence of four aortic valve leaflets of equal or varying sizes. Even rarer is its clinical presentation with aortic stenosis. Diagnosis of QAV could be challenging

Quadricuspid Aortic Valve With Severe Aortic Regurgitation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Whenever a quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) was present, it was historically only identified during open heart surgery. However, recent advances in transthoracic echocardiography have made it possible to detect QAV preoperatively. Further evaluation using transesophageal echocardiography or computed tomography before open surgery may help guide

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Quadricuspid Aortic Valve: A Case Series and Systematic Review. [PDF]
Background: Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly associated with symptomatic aortic regurgitation (AR) or aortic stenosis (AS). Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for QAV remains uncertain. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected data from patients with QAV undergoing TAVR in our center ...

Quadricuspid Aortic Valve With Guarded Left Coronary Artery Ostium in an Infant With Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Anatomical variations of the aortic valve include unicuspid, bicuspid, and quadricuspid. The bicuspid aortic valve is most common and affects 1%-2% of the general population. QAV is generally an isolated malformation, and adults most commonly present
