Abstract
The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital malformation, occurring in 1% to 2% of the population. The majority of BAV patients develop complications requiring treatment. Physicians are often challenged when asked to provide advice about BAV disease because the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of this disease are not well understood.
