  • Title: Repair of quadricuspid aortic valve by bicuspidization: a novel technique.
    Author: Luciani GB, Morjan M, Faggian G, Mazzucco A.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2010 Sep; 11(3):348-50. PubMed ID: 20573648.
    Abstract:
    Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital lesion, generally manifesting with valve regurgitation. Standard treatment involves valve replacement, though anecdotal cases of successful repair by means of valve tricuspidization have been reported. Here, the successful application of a repair technique previously unreported in the setting of QAV is described.
