Detailed explanation-2: -The mitral valve is also called the bicuspid valve and the left atrioventricular valve. As the name bicuspid valve may suggest, the mitral valve is considered to have two primary leaflets: the anterior and posterior leaflets.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
