Abstract

A 54-year-old man with congenital bicuspid aortic valve underwent simultaneous valve repair for aortic and mitral regurgitation. Surgical technique consisted of plication of redundant aortic valve repair and mitral annuloplasty with chordal replacement. One-year follow-up transthoracic echocardiography showed no valve regurgitation. Valve repair for both bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve regurgitation should be the first option in this subset of patients.
