[Three Surgical Cases of Quadricuspid Aortic Valve].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 2017 September
Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital disease. We experienced 3 surgical cases of quadricuspid aortic valve. Patient 1 was a 72-year-old man who was noted to have a quadricuspid aortic valve associated with aortic regurgitation and an ascending aortic aneurysm(51 mm in diameter). He underwent replacement of the aortic valve and the ascending aorta. Patient 2 was a 71-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis, regurgitation, and coronary triple vessel disease. He underwent aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting. Preoperative echocardiography revealed no abnormalities in the number of valve leaflets, but quadricuspid aortic valve was identified during surgery. Patient 3 was a 79-year-old man with severe aortic regurgitation, who underwent aortic valve replacement. In all patients, the 4 valve cusps were approximately of the same size. Multi-detector computed tomography is useful for evaluation of valve morphology. Indication of prophylactic ascending aorta replacement in patients with aortic dilatation requires further study.
