摘要

Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly with prevalence less than 0.01% in autopsy series. It can be found as an isolated anomaly, and the patient may be asymptomatic, but is often associated with aortic insufficiency in 68% of the cases. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are currently used as a diagnostic and follow-up method for this anomaly. The objective of the present paper is through the clinical case report of a 60 year old patient submitted to surgical correction of QAV, to relate some clinical aspects of the disease and to discuss the anesthetic management for this group of patients, in addition, emphasizing the importance and the increasing use of the TEE in the intraoperative period in cardiac surgeries.
