What is the difference between the mitral and bicuspid valves?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nothing - same: The mitral valve or left atrio-ventricular valve is a bicuspid valve. The latter simply means a valve with two leaflets. That is the normal state. A tricuspid valve (3 leaflets) is normally the morphology of the right atrio-ventricular and aortic valves.

Nothing: The mitral valve is a bicuspid valve. This means there are 2 leaflets for both the mitral and bicuspid valve.
