Abstract
Acongenitally bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is present in at least 1% of persons.
1 The most common complication of a BAV is stenosis, and this congenital malformation represents the most common cause of isolated aortic stenosis in the patient group aged 16 to 65.
2 In patients over the age of 65, aortic stenosis superimposed on a BAV occurs with a frequency of approximately 10%. We recently encountered a 92-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis due to a congenitally BAV. To our knowledge, this is the oldest reported patient with severe stenosis involving a congenitally BAV.
