Quadricuspid aortic valve associated with aortic insufficiency contributors

Abstract

A 51-year-old male presented with a wound in his right hand that was suspicious for possible septic emboli of cardiac origin. With transesophageal echocardiography, the patient was found to have a rare quadricuspid aortic valve. This quadricuspid valve can present with variable symptoms and physical exam findings. Due to embryological defects, this pathology is associated with several other anatomical defects that are important to recognize prior to surgical intervention. Transesophaegeal echocardiography remains the gold standard in detection of quadricuspid aortic valve and identification of other possible cardiac lesions.

Erratum: Quadricuspid aortic valve associated with aortic insufficiency contributors

“…The article titled “Quadricuspid Aortic Valve Associated with Aortic Insufficiency Contributors”, 10.4103/aca.ACA_151_18 of Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia[1], the article title is incorrectly written. The correct title of the article should be read as: “Quadricuspid Aortic Valve Associated with Aortic Insufficiency”.…”
