Abstract
We describe the case of a 69 year-old woman with a dilated ascending aorta, who presented with aortic valve regurgitation due to a quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV). There are only a few reports in the literature describing aortic replacement and subsequent aortic valve replacement for a malfunctioning QAV. We discuss the pathogenesis of the dilated ascending aorta in this patient and the indication for ascending aorta replacement in such cases.
