“…incidence of QAV, which is slight male predominant, is about 0.7% ; other ( 1 ) congenital heart defects can be present in 18-32% of these patients (coronary artery and coronary ostium anomalies, atrial or ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, etc) .

Quadricuspid aortic valve is a remarkably rare congenital cardiac anomaly that predominantly becomes regurgitant with the passage of time. Aortic valve stenosis and aortic root dilatation are less common in quadricuspid aortic valve as compared to bicuspid aortic valve. The clinical presentation depends upon the functional status of the aortic valve, left ventricular function, and associated cardiac or coronary anomalies. The quadricuspid aortic valve is easily visualised during transthoracic echocardiogram with a characteristic X pattern of aortic valve in diastole. The association of quadricuspid aortic valve with patent ductus arteriosus is exceedingly rare. We are reporting a case of young girl with mildly regurgitant quadricuspid aortic valve, large patent ductus arteriosus, and volume-loaded left heart who underwent a successful device closure of her patent ductus arteriosus. To the best of our knowledge, such a case is being reported from Pakistan for the first time.

Background Infective endocarditis of the aortic valve is a relatively common disease presentation, with surgical intervention a mainstay of treatment in severe cases. Quadricuspid aortic valves are a rare spontaneous developmental anomaly that are more likely to be asymptomatic, and less likely to require a full valve replacement than their hypocuspid counterparts. However, there is very little literature addressing infective endocarditis of this valve variant. Case presentation This case report presents a case of infective endocarditis of a quadricuspid aortic valve that required replacement with a surgical bioprosthetic valve. The patient is a 30 year old male with a history of polysubstance use, upper extremity aneurysm, and prior tricuspid valve endocarditis. Surgical aortic valve replacement was performed with a 25 mm tissue valve via median sternotomy. Conclusions The patient made a full recovery after surgical aortic valve replacement and a course of antibiotics and was discharged home without any complications. This supports that surgical aortic valve replacement is feasible and safe in patients with polycuspid aortic valve endocarditis.
