Abstract:
A 66-year-old male with the congestive heart failure was diagnosed grade 4 aortic valve regurgitation due to quadricuspid valve associated with bacterial endocarditis, widely patent left coronary artery ostium, chronic renal failure, and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Coronary arteriography showed that the size of left coronary ostium was widely patent 10 mm in diameter, and trans-esophageal echo cardiogram revealed perforation and vegetations on the coronary cusps of the aortic valve.
