Aortic stenosis of a bicuspid aortic valve in a patient with Klippel-Feil syndrome: a case report.
Rory F L HammondSara JasionowskaWael I AwadPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2020)
We report the first case of severe aortic valve stenosis requiring AVR in a Klippel-Feil patient, in whom the aortic valve was confirmed to be bicuspid. This report provides further evidence of an association of KFS with BAoV and strengthens the case for screening and follow-up of KFS patients for BAoV and other cardiovascular pathologies, the consequences of which may be serious.
