Quadricuspid Aortic Valve Repair

This narrated video highlights an aortic valve repair performed for a 47-year-old man who presented with severe, symptomatic aortic regurgitation on a quadricuspid valve. The repair was performed through a median sternotomy using conventional cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass, and Mastrobuoni and colleagues extensively outline their technique for “tricuspidization.” Additionally, the authors discuss their experience with 10 quadricuspid valve repairs. No increased perioperative risk is noted by the authors, with excellent long-term results in terms of regurgitation and reoperation on the valve.
