Özet

Mini-Abstract We describe a 48-year-old female patient with a pentacuspid aortic valve and severe aortic regurgitation that was diagnosed using three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. Monocuspid and quadricuspid aortic valves are a rare congenital valve malformation, and less common is the pentacuspid aortic valve (PAV). Echocardiography is a helpful noninvasive technique for their diagnosis. In this article, we describe a 48-year-old female patient with a PAV and severe aortic regurgitation that was diagnosed using three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
