revealed unicuspid , unicommissural aortic valve (UAV) with a
characteristic “teardrop” lateral orifice (Figure A) and moderate
valve stenosis (3D planimetered aortic valve area (AVA) is 1.1cm2)
(Figure B) Continuous wave Doppler across aortic valve (AV) showed high
peak and mean systolic gradients of 85 and 60mmHg respectively.(Figure
