چکیده
quadricuspid aortic valve (qav) is an uncommon congenital anomaly which was an incidental finding during surgery or autopsy in the past. we present the case of a 44-year-old woman with moderately severe aortic regurgitation due to unequal cusp size qav diagnosed via transesophageal echocardiography. due to echocardiographic imaging improvement, the diagnosis of qav is now easier and earlier than the past.

متن کاملQuadricuspid Aortic Valve: A Rare Intraoperative Diagnosis by Transesophageal Echocardiography
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital anomaly frequently associated with other anomalies particularly coronary anomalies. It may be detected on transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography. We present here a case report of a 27-year-old male patient with a QAV, the valve being regurgitant and requiring aortic valve replacement. It has been reported as isolated case reports i...
متن کاملQuadricuspid aortic valve by using intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography
Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital malformation of the aortic valve. Its diagnosis is often missed even with the use of transthoracic echocardiogram. Many of these patients progress to aortic incompetence later in life, hence requiring surgical intervention. In the case described in this report, a 61-year-old woman is presented with the features of congestive heart failure. The preo...
متن کاملQuadricuspid aortic valve diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography in childhood.
Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital malformation of the heart leading to significant aortic regurgitation or stenosis. Its diagnosis by transthoracic echocardiography is difficult. Most of the cases are diagnosed during surgery or autopsy. Associated abnormalities of the coronary arteries should also be searched, since surgical injury may have devastating results. We herein present a...
متن کاملMarfan Syndrome With Bicuspid Aortic Valve Diagnosed By Transesophageal Echocardiography
In diagnosing MS, even though investigators recently identified a defective FBN 1 gene as cause of this hereditary condition, employing a genetic test a sa diagnostic tool is not partical in the near future (3). This is because of the extreme variability in the FBN 1 gene on chromosome 15. It has been shown (1) that transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides rapid diagnostic information in...
متن کاملType F Congenital Quadricuspid Aortic Valve: A Very Rare Case Diagnosed by 3-dimenional Transoesophageal Echocardiography
Congenital quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare cardiac anomaly. Several different anatomical variations of a quadricuspid aortic valve have been described. Aortic regurgitation is the predominant valvular dysfunction associated with QAV and patients tend to present in their 5(th) or 6(th) decade of life. This anomaly is rarely picked up by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). A comprehensi...
