  • Title: [Congenital bicuspid aortic valve with regurgitation--a rare case showing a fibrous band between the conjoined cusp and the ascending aorta].

    Abstract:
    It is quite unusual that the congenital bicuspid aortic valve shows aortic valve regurgitation except postinflammatory event. In a case of aortic regurgitation with bicuspid valve, a fibrous band was recognized between the conjoined cusp and the ascending aorta at the operation. Since a degenerative change alone was discerned histologically in the resected specimen, this abnormal band was supposed to be an embryogenic remnant of the aortic valve. Six cases were reported previously and all of them were male, and five were Japanese.
