Rare Congenital Anomaly

Quadricuspid aortic valve is rare congenital anomaly. There are only 197 cases published in literature so far. That includes clinical and autopsy reports. This congenital anomaly occurs more often in pulmonary valve but function stays normal in 10 of 11es. On the other side, in aortic position valve is malfunctioning in 50% of cases. Valve regurgitation is more likely to occur than stenosis In this kind of malformation, valves are prone to early dysfunction and endocarditis due to different valve architecture and unequal distribution of mechanical stress along valve cusps. Aortic valve replacement is indicated in younger population of these patients. This is a case report of rare congenital anomaly of big blood vessels - aortic valve with four cusps. This anomaly produced significant aortic regurgitation so this patient was indicated for aortic valve replacement.

Infective endocarditis (IE) in patients with a quadricusp aortic valve (QAV) is a rare occurrence that has only been described nine times in English literature. Similar in rarity, IE by Gemella sanguinis has only been described ten times. It has never been described in a patient with QAV. We describe a case of Gemella sanguinis infective endocarditis of a quadricusp aortic valve in a patient in his 4th decade of life. His QAV was detected on pre-operative transesophageal echocardiogram and confirmed intra-operatively. The patient was managed with bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement and a 6-week course of intravenous antibiotics.

Cardiac Defect

Quadricuspid aortic valve, a rare congenital cardiac defect, manifests most commonly as aortic regurgitation. Clinical presentation mainly depends on the functional status of the aortic valve, myocardium and associated cardiovascular abnormalities. Aortic valve replacement or repair is usually warranted in the 5th or 6th decade.

Ross Procedure

Prosthesis choice for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in children is frequently compromised by unavailability of prostheses in very small sizes, the lack of prosthetic valve growth, and risks associated with long-term anticoagulation. The Ross procedure with pulmonary valve autograft offers several advantages for pediatric and adult patients. We describe our current Ross AVR technique including replacement of the ascending aorta with a prosthetic graft. The procedure shown in the video involves an adult-sized male with a bicuspid aortic valve, mixed aortic stenosis and insufficiency, and a dilated ascending aorta.
