Abstract

We report a case of a 40-year-old man who had a quadricuspid aortic valve associated with aortic regurgitation. The anomaly was revealed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and confirmed by cardiac surgery. TEE is a useful noninvasive method for identifying the quadricuspid aortic valve.
