Coarctation of the Aorta Associated with Adams–Stokes Syndrome, Complete Heart Block and Bicuspid Calcareous Aortic Valve — Report of a Case
A bicuspid aortic valve is a congenital heart condition that can sometimes make it harder for the heart to pump blood to meet the body’s needs. The aortic valve is one of the four valves in the heart.
There are three types of bicuspid aortic valves — types 0, 1, and 2. Experts classify these types based on whether the leaflets of the valve have fused to form a ridge. A bicuspid aortic valve is a ...
Science Daily: Link between gene duplications and deletions within chromosome region and nonsyndromic bicuspid aortic valve disease
Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome region known as 22q11.2 , which involves genes that regulate cardiac development, are linked to nonsyndromic bicuspid aortic valve disease.

Two new analyses in low-risk patients suggest that clinical outcomes are as good in patients with congenital bicuspid anatomy undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation as it is in those with ...
Bicuspid aortic valve surgery involves repairing or replacing a bicuspid valve. The procedure corrects a congenital condition in which a person has two cusps instead of three. A bicuspid aortic valve ...
A bicuspid aortic valve may present few problems throughout your life. But you’ll still need to live a heart-healthy lifestyle and monitor your cardiovascular system to prevent complications. The ...
