Sažetak
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a very rare congenital cardiac defect with the incidence of 0.0125%-0.033% (< 0.05%) predominantly causing aortic regurgitation. A certain number of patients (nearly one-half) have abnormal function and often require surgery, commonly in their fifth or sixth decade. QAV usually appears as an isolated anomaly but may also be associated with other cardiac congenital defects. Echocardiography is considered the main diagnostic method although more and more importance is given to computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as complementary methods.
