Key result
Double valves repair successfully managed a patient with both bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve regurgitation on a background of infective endocarditis.
Why the study?
Aortic regurgitation in a bicuspid aortic valve involves both the semilunar valve and aortic root, mandating careful concurrent management of related structures during valve repair.
Case Report (n=1)
Double valve repair can be successfully performed in a patient with bicuspid aortic valve, mitral regurgitation, and a history of infective endocarditis.
May support double-valve repair feasibility in bicuspid aortic valve with mitral regurgitation after endocarditis; hypothesis-generating and requires larger studies.
Background— aortic regurgitation in a bicuspid aortic valve is a complex entity that involves not only the semilunar valve but also the structure of the aortic root which is functionally & pathologically in a very close relationship to it. Considering repairing a bicuspid valve mandates a mindful involvement of all related structures concurrently. Here We report an interested case of both bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve regurgitation in a patient with history of infective endocarditis, that was successfully managed by double valves repair.

Alwaheidi et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve regurgitation with history of infective endocarditis (n=1). Double valves repair was evaluated on Successful management. Double valves repair successfully managed a patient with both bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve regurgitation on a background of infective endocarditis.
