Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) represents the most common cardiac congenital malformation in the adult age, with strong male predominance. It may occur in isolation, or in association with other congenital heart diseases. The BAV is seen in 1% to 2% of the population and may be complicated by aortic stenosis or aortic insufficiency and infective endocarditis. It may be associated with abnormalities of the aortic wall such as coarctation of the aorta, aort‐ ic dissection, and aortic aneurysm. Most patients with a BAV develop some complications during life [1,2].
