Ross procedure in a quadricuspid aortic valve.
A quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital cardiovascular abnormality, and when present, it is associated with aortic valve regurgitation. If aortic valve replacement is required, mechanical or biological prostheses are used. We report the case of a patient with a severely regurgitant quadricuspid aortic valve in whom a Ross procedure was performed.
