Abstrakt: Described herein are two brothers, both with a congenitally bicuspid aortic valve-one of which was stenotic and one of which functioned normally-and one with associated aortic isthmic coarctation. Summarized also are previously reported families with more than one member with a congenitally bicuspid aortic valve.
