Whenever a quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) was present, it was historically only identified during open heart surgery. However, recent advances in transthoracic echocardiography have made it possible to detect QAV preoperatively. Further evaluation using transesophageal echocardiography or computed tomography before open surgery may help guide the surgical treatment strategy.
每当出现四叶式主动脉瓣(QAV)时,在历史上它仅在心脏直视手术期间才能被识别。然而,经胸超声心动图的最新进展已使术前检测QAV成为可能。在开放手术前使用经食管超声心动图或计算机断层扫描进行进一步评估可能有助于指导手术治疗策略。
