Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac anomaly with a prevalence between 0.5% and 2% in the general population [1], and a male predominance of approximately 3:1 [2]. There is a wide spectrum of presentation ranging from a severe symptomatic form in the neonatal period to incidental detection later in life, including adulthood [2]. Possible symptoms include chest pain, dyspnea, and syncope, which are related to complications. These complications can involve aortic valve stenosis or incompetence, endocarditis, aortic aneurysm formation, and aortic dissection. While most long-term complications associated with BAV manifest later in life, children and adolescents may experience early onset valvular dysfunction or aortic dilation [2]. Here, we report the case of a 36-year-old female with an unusual revelation mode of BAV during an acute coronary syndrome (NSTEMI).
