Vlatka Rešković Lukšić ; University of Zagreb School of Medicine, University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart disease, although in the narrow sense it is not considered a disease but a predisposition for its development. The range of manifestations and the time of the onset of such a disease of the aortic valve vary greatly. In our practice, patients with manifestation at an early age, and especially those with accompanying anomalies (aortic aneurysm, coarctation, membrane), are classified under of congenital heart diseases due to the fact that, as is shown herein, such patients require constant monitoring and often multiple interventions. The patient described here is a good example of a combination of congenital disorder and coronary heart disease, which is characteristic for patients with congenital heart diseases under long-term monitoring.
