Quadricuspid Pulmonary Valve With Fenestration: Cadaveric Findings

Quadricuspid pulmonary valves (QPV) are rare entities. Such valves can be associated with other cardiac anatomical anomalies. In this report, we present a case of a quadricuspid valve with an additional variant and discuss the morphometrics of this anatomical variation. During the routine dissection...

description Quadricuspid pulmonary valves (QPV) are rare entities. Such valves can be associated with other cardiac anatomical anomalies. In this report, we present a case of a quadricuspid valve with an additional variant and discuss the morphometrics of this anatomical variation. During the routine dissection of an adult male body, two anatomical variations were found within the pulmonary trunk. This individual had a QPV. In addition, one of the leaflets of this valve contained fenestrations. No additional cardiac anomalies were identified. Clinicians who review imaging of the heart or treat patients with cardiac conditions should be well-informed about QPV.
