  2. Bicuspid aortic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicuspid_aortic_valve

    A bicuspid aortic valve may cause the heart's aortic valve to narrow (aortic stenosis). [6] This narrowing prevents the valve from opening fully, which reduces or blocks blood flow from the heart to the body. In some cases, the aortic valve does not close tightly, causing blood to leak backward into the left ventricle. [10]

A thoracic aorta greater than 4.5 cm is generally defined as aneurysmal, while a size greater than 5.5 cm is the distinction for treatment, which can be either endovascular or surgical, with the ...

    Bicuspid aortic valve which had to be operated on for severe regurgitation. Two of the cusps (upper side right and left) are grown together (fused) since birth. The lack of closure is seen in the central part of the valve, it is caused by stretching of the fused cusp. In bicuspid aortic valve anatomy, there is congenital fusion of two cusps.

    Diagram of the human heart. Several adaptations of the Ross procedure have evolved, but the principle is essentially the same; to replace a diseased aortic valve with the person's own pulmonary valve (autograft), and replace the person's own pulmonary valve with a pulmonary valve from a cadaver (homograft) or a stentless xenograft.
