Unicuspid Aortic Valve
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unicuspid aortic valve was first described more than half a century ago (Edwards, 1958). Although reported infrequently, the natural history of unicuspid aortic valve is poorly understood. Developmental abnormalities of aortic valve cusps in decreasing order of frequency include bicuspid (0.9%-1.3%), unicuspid (0.02%), quadricuspid (0.008%0.043%), and pentacupsid aortic valves (Cemri, 2000). Decreasing cusp number in the congenitally abnormal aortic valve has shown increasing male predilection, earlier valve failure and aggressive pathological changes compared to normal tricuspid aortic valve (Collins MJ, 2008).

Incidental Diagnosis of the Unicuspid Aortic Valve with Ascending Aortic Aneurysm in an Asymptomatic Adult
The unicuspid aortic valve is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. It usually presents with aortic stenosis and/or aortic regurgitation. Other cardiovascular complications, such as aortic dilatation and left ventricular hypertrophy can accompany it. Herein, we present a case report of a 50-year-old asymptomatic male patient with unicuspid aortic valve, complicated by ascending aortic aneurysm.
متن کاملThe unicuspid aortic valve
The unicuspid aortic valve is a very rare congenital anomaly, which usually presents as aortic stenosis, incompetence, or a combination of both. Other congenital disorders may accompany this phenomenon and aortic dilatation and left ventricular hypertrophy are frequent complications. We present a case report of a young, symptomatic patient with a unicuspid aortic valve, complicated by dilatatio...

Congenital aortic valve anomalies are the cause of premature aortic stenosis in pediatric and younger adult populations. Despite being very rare, unicuspid aortic valves account for approximately 5% of isolated aortic valve replacements. Patients with aortic stenosis, present with the same symptomatology independent of leaflet morphology. However, the presence of bicuspid and unicuspid aortic s...
متن کاملSevere Aortic Stenosis Associated with Unicommissural Unicuspid Aortic Valve in a Middle Aged Male
Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is an extremely rare form of congenital aortic valvular abnormality. Although UAV shows similar clinical characteristics to bicuspid aortic valve, the clinical symptoms develop at earlier age and progress at a faster pace in UAV. In this report, we are presenting a 42-year-old male with severe aortic stenosis associated with unicommissural UAV. The patients underwen...
