Abstract
Abstract
Background: Aortic insufficiency (AI) is a valvular heart disease leading to inadequate closure of the valve leaflets. There are many different etiologies of AI.
Case Presentation: This case addresses an unknown etiology of acute AI from a torn non-coronary aortic cusp with associated acute heart failure that was ultimately treated with an aortic valve replacement.
Conclusions: Regardless of the etiology, prompt diagnosis, stabilization, and treatment are paramount to preventing progressive heart failure.
