Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is rare. However, to repair a quadricuspid aortic valve is not as easy to realize as in bicuspid aortic valve. The surgical design is crucial to rebuild the stable structure. Here we present a case of repair of quadricuspid aortic valve using the strategy of tricuspidization.
四叶式主动脉瓣(QAV)较为罕见。然而,修复四叶式主动脉瓣并不像修复二叶式主动脉瓣那样容易实现。手术设计对于重建稳定结构至关重要。在此,我们展示一例采用三尖瓣化策略修复四叶式主动脉瓣的病例。
