Quadricuspid aortic valve: Imaging findings on multidetector helical CT with echocardiographic correlation

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2006 Jul-Aug;30(4):569-71. doi: 10.1097/00004728-200607000-00003.

Abstract

Cardiac multidetector helical computed tomography angiogram (MDCTA) findings of a quadricuspid aortic valve are presented. MDCTA enabled evaluation of the aortic valve and its function, the coronary arteries, and left ventricular function. This case is, to our knowledge, the first description of the MDCTA imaging appearance of quadricuspid aortic valve.
