[Recurrent syncope in a male patient with bicuspid aortic valve].
Journal Title: Kardiologia Polska - Year 2011, Vol 69, Issue 5
Abstract
We present a case of a 31 year-old male patient with a congenital heart disease - bicuspid aortic valve with secondary aortic valve insufficiency, in whom recurrent syncope associated with episodes of complete atrioventricular block was observed. After implantation of a pacemaker syncope did not reccur. Due to risk of complications with bicuspid aortic valve it was decided that surgical treatment should be considered in this case.
