Bicuspid aortic valve associated with aortic thrombotic occlusion
The Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine volume 28, pages 128–130 (2016)
Abstract
The bicuspid aortic valve is associated with disorders of the aortic wall, including coarctation of the aorta and aortic dissection. The histologic abnormality underlying aortic complications in bicuspid aortic valve is cystic medial necrosis. The elastic properties of the aorta are abnormal in bicuspid aortic valve. Here, we present a case of aortic thrombotic occlusion in a patient with a bicuspid aortic valve.
