Coexistence of bicuspid aortic and pulmonary valve in patients with normally related great vessels: Our experience

Abstract

Aortic and pulmonary valves share a common developmental origin from the embryonic arterial trunk so there are chances of involvement of both semilunar valves in process of congenital malformation involving one semilunar valve. But in reported literature, this is a rare association. We are reporting 4 infants with bicuspid morphology of both semilunar valves and their different clinical presentation.
