Abstract:
Aortic regurgitation (AR) represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Due to its low cost and widespread availability, echocardiography remains the frontline for aortic valve (AV) assessment. However, poor sonographic windows may limit the assessment of valve morphology with this technique. Cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) is increasingly utilized prior to structural AV interventions. Due to its excellent spatial resolution, CCT provides exceptional characterization of aortic leaflets. Accordingly, we present a case of a quadricuspid valve diagnosed by CCT. Here, CCT led to a new diagnosis of quadricuspid valve, highlighting the potential for CCT for the characterization of aortic leaflet morphology. CCT may be particularly useful in patients with contraindications to transesophageal echocardiography or those undergoing structural or robotic interventions.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
