Quadricuspid pulmonary valve

Abstract

Quadricuspid pulmonary valve (QPV) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation which is notable for its asymptomatic behavior. With only a few hundred cases reported in literature, its clinical significance is not exactly known, although many authors have placed its implications on the Ross procedure. We report a case of QPV which was detected on routine cardiac screening.
