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: -The AV valves allow blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles, but not in the reverse direction. The right AV valve is called the tricuspid valve, the left is called the mitral valve.
