In the bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), which is the most common type of aortic valve defect and is characterized by the formation of two functional leaflets instead of three, the onset of CAVD typically occurs at an earlier age and progresses to severe stenosis much more rapidly than in the normal tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). cache/gq67jq10c08.txt txt/gq67jq10c08.txt
