Anyone here have a Quadricuspid Aortic Valve and had surgery? My cardiologist recommended a Mechanical Valve, but I have not yet seen a surgeon. Don't know if the Ross Procedure is an option? (I'm 41, female, very active and healthy otherwise, and definitely have concerns about anti- coagulants).
Andrew Dial Look into the Ross procedure… there’s many factors, but you’re in the right age range

Jessica Miller That's my hope! I've not been able to find a surgeon in my area, but have reached out to one in a city that's about 4 hrs away. I'm just not even sure if it's possible in my situation - have not been able to find much info on it in relation to a quadricuspid aortic valve.

Timothy Andre If you need a new aortic valve I’m not sure it matters whether you have a qaudricuspid or bicuspid valve. It sounds like you may be going to Plano Texas for a surgical opinion? Use the resources on this website and educate yourself. I am a recent “Ross Procedure” patient and am happy with my choice thus far. I too didn’t want to be on blood thinners and looked at all my options. Good luck to you, reach out if you have any questions.
