ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -What Is Bicuspid Aortic Valve? A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is an aortic valve that contains only only two cusps (or flaps) instead of three. The aortic valve controls the flow of blood from the left ventricle (chamber) to the aorta, the main artery delivering blood to your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right atrioventricular valve has three cusps, and is therefore called the tricuspid valve, while the left atrioventricular valve has two cusps, and is known as the bicuspid or mitral valve-mitral because it is said to resemble a bishops mitre.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bicuspid aortic valve is a heart problem present at birth. That means it is a congenital heart defect. The aortic valve is between the left lower heart chamber and the body’s main artery, called the aorta. Flaps of tissue on the valve open and close with each heartbeat. The flaps are called cusps.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tricuspid valve is one of four valves in the heart. It’s located between the right lower heart chamber (right ventricle) and the right upper heart chamber (right atrium). The tricuspid valve opens and closes to ensure that blood flows in the correct direction. It’s also called the right atrioventricular valve.
