  • Title: Quadricuspid aortic valve with ascending aortic aneurysm: a case report and histopathological investigation.
    Author: Tsukioka K, Nobara H, Takano T, Wada Y, Amano J.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2011; 17(4):418-21. PubMed ID: 21881335.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a 69 year-old woman with a dilated ascending aorta, who presented with aortic valve regurgitation due to a quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV). There are only a few reports in the literature describing aortic replacement and subsequent aortic valve replacement for a malfunctioning QAV. We discuss the pathogenesis of the dilated ascending aorta in this patient and the indication for ascending aorta replacement in such cases.
