with stenosis, high risk of endocarditis, aortopathy because
of wall degenerate with dilation of the ascending aorta, valve
incompetence, and aortic dissection at risk of sudden death
(Table5.3).
Aortic stenosis of bicuspid aortic valve is the consequence
of calcic degeneration of the cusps (Fig.5.30), similar to
senile calcic aortic stenosis. The onset of calcication in
bicuspid valve occurs earlier and more severely than in a normal tricuspid aortic valve. More than the 30% of patients
with aortic stenosis, requiring surgical replacement of the
aortic valve, shows a bicuspid valve.
The bicuspid aortic valve represents a well-known risk
factor for infective endocarditis (see chapter on endocarditis), and antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended also for
minimal surgical or invasive procedures. Infective endocarditis involves the cusps, with disruption and vegetations, and
the valvular annulus, accounting for abscesses and aneurysms in the Valsalva sinuses. The vegetations are composed
of platelets, brin, inammatory cells, and microorganisms.

With time, aortopathy develops in nearly 50% of patients
with bicuspid aortic valve. The sinusal and tubular ascending
aorta show an aneurismal dilatation due to disruption of elastic bers of the tunica media with loss of wall elasticity
(Figs. 5.31, 5.32 and 5.33). At histology, the degenerative
disease affects the tunica media with noninammatory loss
of smooth muscle cells (medionecrosis), fragmentation of
the elastic bers, and increased extracellular ground substance in the lamellar units (cystic medionecrosis) (Fig.5.32).

The consequences of the aortic wall degeneration are aortic valve incompetence (Fig.5.33) and even aortic dissection
(Figs.5.34 and 5.35) with risk of sudden death.
Rare is the occurrence of a quadricuspid aortic valve
(Fig.5.36) that usually is the cause of aortic regurgitation.

The quadricuspid aortic valve may be an isolated anomaly or

supravalvular aortic stenosis.
Pulmonary Valve
The pulmonary valve can be stenotic in the presence of unicuspid, bicuspid, or tricuspid valve (Table5.4).
The unicuspid valve (Fig.5.37) is the most severe and fre-
quent form of pulmonary stenosis and consists of a single
membrane and small central orice.
In the bicuspid and tricuspid pulmonary valves (Figs.5.38
and 5.39), the stenosis is due to the dysplasia of the cusps.
Pulmonary valve stenosis may be isolated or associated
with tetralogy of Fallot.

regurgitation. (c) Closeup of the (b)

usually a benign anomaly without clinical symptoms. Only
sporadic cases of quadricuspid pulmonary valve stenosis or
insufciency are reported.

Polyvalvular Disease
nodular myxoid thickening, and the semilunar valve may
present also abnormalities in the number of cusps.
Congenital polyvalvular disease is a severe cardiac malformation, characterized by maldevelopment and dysfunction
of multiple cardiac valves with congenitally dysplastic features (Fig.5.41). The anomaly affects not only leaets but
also commissures, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles.
The atrioventricular valve leaets appear redundant with
This malformation can be observed in otherwise normal
hearts or be associated with other cardiac defects, like ventricular septal defect, and with extracardiac malformations.
Cases with chromosomal anomalies are reported. A high
incidence of congenital polyvalvular disease is present in
patients with trisomy 18.
