The quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital defect. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention, like aortic valve replacement, are crucial for managing this condition and preventing serious complications.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Background:

  • The quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital malformation.
  • 2D transthoracic ultrasound (TTU) may not always effectively diagnose quadricuspid aortic valves.

Observation:

  • A 74-year-old female with hypertension was diagnosed with mainly stenotic aortic valvular disease via TTU.
  • The patient underwent successful elective surgery to replace the quadricuspid aortic valve with a bioprosthetic valve.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced no post-operative complications and remained asymptomatic at 6-month and 1-year follow-ups.
  • This case represents the only quadricuspid aortic valve surgery performed in the department over a 20-year period.

Implications:

  • Quadricuspid aortic valve, though rare, carries a significant risk of severe complications.
