Quadricuspid Aortic Valve with Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm: a Case Report

Abstract Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) and sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) are rare congenital anomalies. We report an elderly patient with QAV associated with a ruptured SVA to the right atrium. Transthoracic echocardiographic and computed tomographic images are presented. We emphasize the important role of computed tomography angiography in establishing and confirming the diagnosis and facilitating treatment planning. The patient was successfully operated by a minimally invasive approach.
