A member asked:
How often shld a bicuspid aortic valve be chkd., once diagnosed. mild regurgitation. and when should surgery become an option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bicuspid aortic valv: This is a common abnormality. We generally get two studies about a year or two apart at first to establish whether things are progressing rapidly or stable. If stable the follow ups can be moved out further in time. We don't consider surgery unless serious valve leak is present and the heart is dilating in response to it.
