Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality. BAV is often accompanied by ascending aorta dilatation (so-called aortopathy). Indications for surgical treatment in patients with BAV and aortopathy is one of the most discussed issues in modern cardiac surgery. Valve-sparing surgery is a relatively young and rapidly developing surgical method for aortic insufficiency management. These interventions are few despite the advantages of reconstructive operations. This article is devoted to selection of patients for surgery and choice of surgical strategy in patients with BAV and aortopathy.
