  • Title: [A case of quadricuspid aortic valve associated with mitral regurgitation].

    Abstract:
    A case of a 60-year-old man associated with quadricuspid aortic valve and mitral regurgitation is reported. The aortic valve consisted of three larger cusps and a small accessory cusp situated between the right and the non-coronary cusps. The aortic regurgitation resulted from malcoaptation of the four cusps and the mitral regurgitation resulted from annulus dilatation and thickening of the anterior leaflet. The surgical treatment was performed successfully by the aortic and mitral valve replacements with St. Jude Medical valves. The patient is doing well fifteen months postoperatively. Sixteen Japanese cases of quadricuspid aortic valve which were corrected surgically are reviewed.
