Key result
Bicuspid aortic valve presents as acute Leriche syndrome with complete abdominal aortic occlusion.
Why the study?
The bicuspid aortic valve is associated with aortic wall disorders and abnormal elastic properties, but its relation to aortic thrombotic occlusion is not well characterized.

Bicuspid aortic valve may associate with Leriche syndrome in young adults; leaves open prevalence and mechanisms.
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.

Zehi̇r et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Bicuspid aortic valve and Leriche syndrome (n=1). Bicuspid aortic valve was evaluated on Diagnosis of Leriche syndrome. A 35-year-old man with a bicuspid aortic valve presented with severe hip and buttock pain and was diagnosed with complete thrombotic occlusion of the abdominal aorta (Leriche syndrome).
