Abstract

Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. There are two forms of UAV, including unicuspid acommissural and unicuspid unicommissural. Definitive management for UAV is surgical intervention, but due to the rarity of UAV, the long-term surgical outcomes as well as overall prognosis are not known. Here, we present the case of a 19-year-old patient who was found to have a UAV prenatally and underwent a mechanical aortic valve replacement through an upper hemi-sternotomy due to elevated aortic stenosis gradients and presence of symptoms.

一个罕见而独特的病例：为一名患有单腔单尖主动脉瓣狭窄的年轻成年人进行主动脉瓣置换术。

单尖主动脉瓣（UAV）是一种罕见的先天性心脏畸形。单尖主动脉瓣有两种形式，包括单尖尖瓣和单尖单瓣。UAV 的最终治疗方法是手术干预，但由于 UAV 的罕见性，其长期手术效果和总体预后尚不清楚。在此，我们介绍了一例 19 岁患者的病例，该患者在产前被发现患有 UAV，由于主动脉瓣狭窄梯度升高并伴有症状，该患者通过上半疝切开术接受了主动脉瓣机械置换术。

期刊介绍： Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
