Early failure of quadricuspid aortic valve tricuspidization due to dehiscence of approximating coronary cusps

Abstract: A 48-year-old woman diagnosed with aortic regurgitation showing a quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) underwent repair with tricuspidization. Two non-coronary cusps (NCC) with fenestrations were detected intraoperatively. Tricuspidization of QAV was performed by approximating the two NCCs via interrupted sutures. The aortic annulus was plicated by subcommissural annuloplasty. The residual aortic regurgitation was mild, with a vena contracta of 2.1 mm. On postoperative day 5, echocardiography demonstrated a new reg… Show more

“…Also, early reoperation for severe regurgitation due to dehiscence of neocusp sutures has been described. 5 The technique we describe herein is easily reproducible and allows diameter reduction of a dilated aortic root. The aortic annulus is further stabilized by aortic root reimplantation.…”

“…Different repair approaches have been proposed but not all have been successful [50][51][52][53]. The most reproducible corrections have consisted of the reduction of the sinotubular diameter and the conversion of the valve into a tricuspid or bicuspid design through detachment of one or two commissures [54,55].…”

“…Little is known on mid-or long-term results. The lack of addressing sinotubular dilatation and design conversion have been associated with an increased probability of failure [50][51][52][53]. Likewise, little is known on specific pathologies (beyond calcification and retraction) that require replacement per se.…”

“…The functional status of QAV is predominantly regurgitant (45), however, the experience with aortic valve sparing techniques in the setting of regurgitant QAV is still limited to few published case reports and no systematic reconstruction approach has been yet developed. Depending on the specific morphologic characteristics of QAV a tricuspidalization vs. bicuspidalization repair strategy has been proposed for QAV repair with a varying success (46)(47)(48).…”
