Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is one of the most common forms of congenital heart defect and is associated with other congenital vascular and cardiac defects. The most common comorbidity is dilation of thoracic aorta and clinical manifestations are usually related to function of the aortic valve and to other cardiovascular acquired complications. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is an uncommon congenital cardiovascular anomaly and the combination of these two anomalies is very rare. Common complications are rupture and obstruction of the termination chamber due to space-occupying effect of large unruptured aneurysms. Early cardiac imaging can help limiting morbidity and mortality in these patients

Abstract

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is one of the most common forms of congenital heart defect and is associated with other congenital vascular and cardiac defects. The most common comorbidity is dilation of thoracic aorta and clinical manifestations are usually related to function of the aortic valve and to other cardiovascular acquired complications. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is an uncommon congenital cardiovascular anomaly and the combination of these two anomalies is very rare. Common complications are rupture and obstruction of the termination chamber due to space-occupying effect of large unruptured aneurysms. Early cardiac imaging can help limiting morbidity and mortality in these patients
