Bicuspid aortic valve

The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta. Normally, it should have three leaflets: the left coronary leaflet, the right coronary leaflet, and the non-coronary leaflet. Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), also known as bicuspid aortic valve malformation, is a congenital heart defect. In patients with this condition, the aortic valve has only two leaflets due to partial fusion, which obstructs blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta, leading to a series of severe symptoms and potentially causing death.

Aortic dissection

The aorta is the largest artery, originating directly from the left ventricle of the heart, and is the source of the entire arterial system in the human body. Aortic dissection is a critical and life-threatening condition caused by various etiologies that lead to increased pressure or structural changes in the aortic wall. This results in a tear in the intimal layer of the vessel, allowing high-velocity, high-pressure blood flow to dissect the intima from the media, and enter the aortic wall.
