ABSTRACT
The bicuspid aortic valve corresponds to the most common valve defect in the general population. This can present asymptomatically as an incidental finding or symptomatically due to valve disease (stenosis and regurgitation), aortopathy, and infective endocarditis. Imaging techniques such as transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography are fundamental pillars in diagnosis and treatment, determining the need for surgical intervention and the type of surgery to be performed. The case of a young patient with a less frequent bicuspid aortic valve phenotype is presented.
