Aplasia of the right aortic cusp in a neonate : a life-threatening but curable anomaly
(1991) In Annals of Thoracic Surgery 52(6). p.30-1329- Abstract
A case of absent right aortic cusp causing serious aortic incompetence in a neonate is reported. A "bicuspidalization" repair broke down within 24 hours, but reoperation with annular enlargement and insertion of a 19-mm prosthetic valve resulted in complete recovery. This rare but life-threatening anomaly of the aortic valve can be recognized with Doppler echocardiography. Valve replacement in conjunction with aortic annular enlargement should be performed as primary repair.
