Key result
Double valve 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 valve and related aortic root structures, making repair complex.

Double valve repair can be a successful management strategy for complex cases involving both bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve regurgitation with a history of infective endocarditis.
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 and 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 interesting case of both bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve regurgitation in a patient with a history of infective endocarditis, that was successfully managed by double valve repair.
