Congenital Quadricuspid Aortic Valve: A Rare but Significant Cause of Aortic Insufficiency

—

by

Congenital quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare cardiac malformation, with a reported prevalence of just 0.013% to 0.043%. Although often asymptomatic in early life, QAV frequently leads to aortic insufficiency (AI) in adulthood, necessitating surgical intervention. A recent case report published in the Journal of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine sheds light on the clinical…
