Case Report: We<br>describe the case of a female patient with a quadricuspid aortic valve. The direct visualization showed a type E quadricuspid aortic valve. After<br>complete excision of the valve, it was replaced by a 23mm biological prosthesis. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Discussion: Since the<br>first case, described in 1862, fewer than 200 cases have been diagnosed so far in world literature. Given its frequent association with other<br>cardiac malformations, it is important that physicians seek their preoperative diagnosis.</p> ER -
