Bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis caused by Gemella sanguinis: Case report and literature review
Gemella species are catalase-negative, facultative anaerobic, Gram-positive cocci, which are part of the human oral microbiome and may occasionally cause systemic infections.

Transcatheter vs surgical aortic valve replacement for bicuspid aortic valve disease
Abstract Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an acceptable and often preferred alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, the mid‐ and long‐term efficacy of TAVR in patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) remains unclear.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve ...

Aged Zebrafish as a Spontaneous Model of Cardiac Valvular Disease
Natural ageing in zebrafish results in spontaneous development of valvular degeneration in both the atrioventricular (AV) and bulboventricular (BV) valves. Aged zebrafish valves are larger and exhibit cystic regions, immune cell infiltration, early osteoblast differentiation and increased regurgitation.

Embryonic Development of the Bicuspid Aortic Valve
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital valvular heart defect with an overall frequency of 0.5%–1.2%. BAVs result from abnormal aortic cusp formation during valvulogenesis, whereby adjacent cusps fuse into a single large cusp resulting in two, instead of the normal three, aortic cusps.

Chylothorax after patent ductus arteriosus ligation in a dog with persistent left cranial vena cava
This report is the first to document chylothorax after patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation in a dog with a persistent left cranial vena cava (PLCVC), highlighting potential complications arising from concurrent cardiovascular anomalies. A nine‐month‐old female desexed Pomeranian was referred for PDA. Echocardiography confirmed a left‐to‐right shunt

The bicuspid aortic valve is a common congenital cardiac anomaly, having an incidence in the general population of 0.9% to 2.0% and a frequency of 54% in all patients aged >15 years with valvular aortic stenosis. In most cases it remains undetected until infective endocarditis or calcification supervenes. The bicuspid aortic valve may function normally
