• Identified associated conditions like septal defects and coronary abnormalities.
• Discussed treatment implications, particularly the Ross procedure.
• Described the rarity of quadricuspid aortic valve cases.
• Highlighted associations with septal defects and coronary issues.
• Established the Ross procedure as a viable treatment for young patients without aortopathy.
