Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the commonest congenital heart disease affecting predominantly male sex (male to female ratio 3:1), with an estimated incidence in general population ranging from 0.9 to 2%. Due to its abnormal geometry and mechanical stress, this valve anatomy is a predisposing condition for the development of calcific aortic stenosis.
