Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is rare. Aortic valve replacement is the most frequent treatment for those patients with severe regurgitation or stenosis of the QAV. However, as our comprehension of the aortic valve grows, to repair a dysfunctional QAV becomes more and more feasible. We present a case of successful repair of the QAV using the surgical strategy of bicuspidization.
三尖瓣式主动脉瓣(QAV)较为罕见。对于那些 QAV 严重反流或狭窄的患者,主动脉瓣置换术是最常见的治疗方法。然而,随着我们对主动脉瓣认识的不断深入,修复功能失调的 QAV 变得越来越可行。我们报告了一例使用双瓣化手术策略成功修复 QAV 的病例。
