Abstract

Bicuspid aortic valve with ascending aortic aneurysm is a common condition encountered in pregnancy. There are limited data on how to manage these patients. To our knowledge, we report the only case of a bicuspid aortic valve and aortic aneurysm with twin gestations. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Keywords: BAV, bicuspid aortic valve; aorta; bicuspid aortic valve; pregnancy.
