AbstractQuadricuspid aortic valve is a very rare congenital valvular anomaly. Most of these cases present with aortic insufficiency. We present a 38 year old male patient with aquadricuspid aortic valve with severe aortic regurgitation.

Aortic valve regurgitation and saccular aneurysm of the ascending aorta developed in a 5-year-old boy following severe compressive injury to the chest. While rare, traumatic aortic valve disruption may lead to serious cardiac dysfunction. Recognition of acute aortic insufficiency and other forms of cardiac damage requires special attention in patients with nonpenetrating chest injury.

Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital anomaly often associated with aortic insufficiency. The exact anatomy of QAV is variable, and most cases have undergone aortic valve replacement. With the recognition that aortic valve repair achieves superior patient outcomes as compared to replacement, a systematic approach to autologous reconstruction of QAV is needed. This article reports 2 cases having successful repair utilizing geometric aortic annuloplasty rings, and describes a proposed scheme for repairing most QAV defects, based on relative leaflet and commissural characteristics. Using either tri-leaflet or bicuspid ring annuloplasty, the normal sub-commissural triangles can be remodeled into a 120° or 180° configuration, respectively, and then the leaflets can be sutured and plicated to fit annular geometry. With this approach, most quadricuspid valves potentially could undergo autologous reconstruction.
