One-stop interventional procedure for bicuspid aortic stenosis in a patient with coexisting aortic coarctation: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is usually diagnosed and corrected early in life. Most untreated patients with CoA usually die before 50 years of age. Adult patients with concomitant CoA and severe bicuspid aortic stenosis are relatively rare and present complex management challenges without standard guidelines.

Case summary

Echocardiogram showed a severely calcified and stenotic bicuspid aortic valve (BAV).
