Definition

A type of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) characterized by two equal-sized cusps, with no raphe and only two commissures. There is a lateral arrangement of the free edge of the cusps. Note that this differs from some other forms of BAV in which there are three commissures and two of the three cusps are joined by a raphe forming two functional leaflets. This type of BAV often is associated with aortic stenosis. [from HPO]
