    Author: Akdemir O, Sürücü H, Ozbay G.
    Journal: J Heart Valve Dis; 2002 Sep; 11(5):755-6. PubMed ID: 12358416.
    Abstract:
    Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital cardiac abnormality which is frequently detected at necropsy or surgery. Here, a young, asymptomatic patient with mild aortic and mitral regurgitations is described in whom a quadricuspid aortic valve was detected incidentally on transesophageal echocardiography performed initially to diagnose ruptured mitral chordae tendineae.
