title: Congenital quadricuspid aortic valve associated with congenital complete heart block.
abstract: Congenital quadricuspid aortic valve is very uncommon, and is often associated with other cardiac disorders, such as patent ductus, ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, mitral valve malformation, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and coronary abnormalities. We report a patient with congenital quadricuspid aortic valve associated with congenital complete heart block. To our knowledge, this association has not been reported so far.
