title: Revelation of quadricuspid aortic valve at aortography in elderly patient with severe aortic regurgitation.
abstract: Aortic regurgitation is associated with numerous eponymous signs. It has been reported severe aortic regurgitation also due to a quadricuspid aortic valve, a rare congenital anomaly. We present a case of revelation of quadricuspid aortic valve at left ventriculography with aortography in a 71-year-old Italian woman with severe aortic regurgitation.
