Sinus of Valsalva fistula with quadricuspid aortic valve, a first reported association

Int J Cardiol. 2005 May 11;101(1):151-2. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2004.01.029.

Abstract

Quadricuspid aortic valve and sinus of Valsalva fistula are rare congenital anomalies. We report the first case of association of these two congenital anomalies in an adult patient and the important role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in establishing and confirming the correct diagnosis and helping in planning the treatment.
