Abstract
- We present a unique case of severe aortic narrowing identified in adulthood, six years after aortic valve replacement for aortic insufficiency, due to bicuspid aortic valve disease. We illustrate the importance of multimodality cardiac imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition using echocardiography, cardiac CT, MRI, and angiography.
