Rare Case of Coincident Quadricuspid Pulmonic Valve and Suprapulmonic Ridge: Multimodality Imaging.

ABSTRACT: A 32-year-old woman with a history of mild congenital pulmonic stenosis presented with new dyspnea on exertion. Multimodal imaging revealed a quadricuspid pulmonic valve with supravalvular ridge. We illustrate the evaluation and diagnosis of this rare condition. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Mechanical pulmonic valve thrombosis: expanding role of cardiac CT and multimodality imaging.

Project description:We report a case of a 44-year-old man with a clinical history of Tetralogy of Fallot status post staged surgical correction with mechanical pulmonic valve replacement who presented with progressive exertional dyspnea in the setting of non-compliance with anticoagulation. In the context of this suggestive clinical presentation, the diagnosis of mechanical pulmonic valve thrombosis (MPVT) was made possible via multimodality imaging, including transthoracic echocardiogram and cardiac computed tomography angiography. Due to the uncommon nature of the condition, the patient was treated with systemic thrombolysis and anticoagulation using evidence-based guidelines, largely extrapolated from left-sided mechanical valve thrombosis. Our case underscores the importance of anticoagulation in MPVT and recognizing the features of MPVT on clinical history, physical examination, and multimodality imaging. It is essential to understand the pivotal role of multimodality imaging in the assessment of MPVT and realize the limitations of available data regarding the management of MPVT in the current era.

An Exceedingly Rare Case of Concomitant Quadricuspid Aortic Valve and Atrial Myxoma.

Project description:We present an exceptional case of a quadricuspid aortic valve associated with a left atrial myxoma. Both are rare conditions, and this association has not been reported yet. These conditions can be silent but may lead to several complications. This case highlights importance of a careful echocardiographic evaluation for early management. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Quadricuspid Aortic Valve: A Rare Congenital Cause of Aortic Insufficiency.

Project description:Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly causing aortic regurgitation usually in the fifth to sixth decade of life. Earlier, the diagnosis was mostly during postmortem or intraoperative, but now with the advent of better imaging techniques such as transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, more cases are being diagnosed in asymptomatic patients. We present a case of a 39-year-old male who was found to have QAV, with the help of TEE, while undergoing evaluation for a diastolic murmur. The patient was found to have Type B QAV with moderate aortic regurgitation. We also present a brief review of classification, pathophysiology, and embryological basis of this rare congenital anomaly. The importance of diagnosing QAV lies in the fact that majority of these patients will require surgery for aortic regurgitation and close follow-up so that aortic valve replacement/repair is done before the left ventricular decompensation occurs.

Quadricuspid aortic valve: A rare intraoperative diagnosis by transesophageal echocardiography.

Project description:Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital anomaly frequently associated with other anomalies particularly coronary anomalies. It may be detected on transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography. We present here a case report of a 27-year-old male patient with a QAV, the valve being regurgitant and requiring aortic valve replacement. It has been reported as isolated case reports in the literature and various theories exist to the development of QAV. The diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion and a detailed assessment, and if asymptomatic, then patients need to be carefully followed up for the development of aortic regurgitation.
