“…The predominant valvular lesion of UAV is isolated AS, followed by AS concomitant with AR. Isolated AR is uncommon [8, 12, 30]. UAV has marked bimodal age presentation, either severe left ventricular outflow obstruction in fetal life or early infancy, or degenerative AS or mixed aortic valvar disease in the third to fifth decades of life [19].…”

Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is a rare congenital aortic valve anomaly. It has two subtypes and often is associated with aortic valve dysfunction and corresponding clinical presentations. Echocardiography is the first choice of diagnostic method for UAV. Three-dimensional echocardiography has played an increasingly important role in diagnosis, intraprocedural guidance, and post-procedural assessment in recent years. There remain challenges in distinguishing UAV from bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) or tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). Misdiagnosis is most resulted from raphes or leaflet calcifications. Multi-modality imaging has obvious advantages over single-modality imaging and is crucial for UAV diagnosis. Accurate identification of aortic valve morphology is important to choose the best treatment. Aortic balloon valvoplasty, surgical valvotomy, commissurotomy, Ross procedure, surgical valve repair and surgical replacement are most common treatment modalities of UAV. In this review, we aim to discuss UAV including epidemiology, definition, classification, diagnostic importance and necessity, valvular function, clinical presentation, associated disorders, non-invasive diagnostic modalities and therapeutic approaches.
