Abstract

Quadricuspid aortic valves represent an uncommon congenital abnormality. Patients may have aortic regurgitation and become symptomatic at a younger age than patients with other types of aortic valve anatomy. We report 3 patients who underwent successful repair by tricuspidization of the aortic valve.
