Quadricuspid aortic valves are rare congenital malformations. Although aortic valve replacement is the first-choice treatment in most cases, aortic valve repair using a tricuspidization procedure has been reported. Herein, we report the case of a patient with a quadricuspid aortic valve associated with aortic insufficiency that we successfully repaired with aortic valve-sparing root replacement and bicuspidization.
