Pseudocoarctation of the aortic arch associated with bicuspid aortic valve lesion: is it a surgical entity? 1985

G D Angelini, and E N Kulatilake, and M Hayward, and M S Ruttley

Three patients with bicuspid aortic valve lesion associated with pseudocoarctation of the aortic arch are presented. At operation, 2 had a bicuspid calcified stenotic aortic valve, and one a bicuspid non-calcified incompetent aortic valve. All required replacement of the diseased aortic valve. The pseudocoarctation was not corrected because it caused no hemodynamic abnormality.
