Abstract

• Anatomical variations of the aortic valve include unicuspid, bicuspid, and quadricuspid.
• The bicuspid aortic valve is most common and affects 1%-2% of the general population.
• QAV is generally an isolated malformation, and adults most commonly present with AR.
• Coronary anomalies have been reported in up to 10% of patients with QAV.
• Prompt and accurate imaging will lead to corrective surgery.
