AB  - Identifying the etiology of aortic insufficiency (AI) is essential in the 
      management of the patient with valvular heart disease. We report the case of 
      a 34-year-old male who presented with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV 
      symptoms. The physical exam was consistent with AI, which was confirmed on 
      echocardiography. Interestingly, the trileaflet aortic valve (TAV) was comprised 
      of three retracted cusps, a rarely cited anatomic abnormality yielding AI. The 
      patient underwent an uncomplicated aortic valve replacement (AVR).
