Bronchoscopy is an investigative or therapeutic procedure that involves inserting an instrument into the lungs via the airway and is often performed under anesthesia. Rigid bronchoscopy generally warrants general anesthesia, while flexible bronchoscopy can be carried out under sedation supplemented with topical anesthesia [1]. It is critical for the practicing anesthetist to use the best method for each individual patient [2].
The normal aortic valve is trileaflet and comprised of the non, left, and right coronary cusps. Quadricuspid aortic valve ( QAV ) is an extremely rare malformation occurring in only 0.008% of autopsies and 0.043% of cases examined through echocardiography. Hurwitz and Roberts proposed seven classes of QAV based on the arrangement and relative sizes of the cusps; Nakamura et al. created a simplified classification system based on the position of the extra cusp.

Unilateral cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) accounts for ~2% of pulmonary edema cases and is classically caused by posterior papillary muscle rupture, resulting in acute, severe, eccentric mitral regurgitation. Flow is directed specifically to the right-sided pulmonary veins. This, in turn, overwhelms the lymphatic capacity of the right lung and results in lateralized pulmonary edema as seen in this chest x-ray.
