Description
In this zoom view of the aoritc valve in parasternal short axis TTE, the aortic valve appears bicuspid, but there is a echo artifact crossing the valve. What do you think?

the answer is do TEE
It cannot be ruled out, but indeterminate on this off-axis image.
i dont think its bcav,there is an artifact ,it seems to be tri.on just
one image it obviously is difficult to comment,but evn though.wht r
the findings ,as only on one image it is difficult to comment,i am
sure u also take many images to comment.
A bicuspid aortic valve can be diagnosed by echocardiography (ECHO),
the echo is an ultrasound of the heart. There is a possibility that it
may have a premolar, but often do not even need surgery or anything
about it.

A bicuspid aortic valve is the name given to this condition is a
congenital deformity. The normal aortic valve has three cusps in an
attempt to manage the flow of blood through the heart. Whereas
bicuspid heart valve has only two of these three cusps.
