Aortic Bicuspidia: About 50 Cases
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: Aortic bicuspidia is the most common congenital heart defect. The two-leaf aortic valve remains functional up to adulthood in most patients, which explains its generally late diagnosis. Its clinical course is unpredictable and heterogeneous. The vast majority of patients develop aortic valvular and parietal complications. The overall prognosis remains good on recent data from the literature. Keywords:Aortic bicuspidia, Diagnostic, Aortic stenosis, Aortic insufficiency, Treatment.
