title: Two cases of quadricuspid aortic valve.
abstract: Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital malformation of the aortic valve. Most cases are discovered incidentally at autopsy or at aortic valve replacement. Recent advances in echocardiography epecially transesophageal echocardiography led to diagnosis of more cases before surgery. Two cases of quadricuspid aortic valve are presented.
