Aortic regurgitation is not created equal: outcomes of bicuspid versus tricuspid aortic valve regurgitation

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is an important cause of AR; these patients belong to a young and male predominant population and are distinctively different from tricuspid aortic valve (TAV).
