Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital cardiac anomaly, predisposes individuals to aortic stenosis and regurgitation due to valve degeneration. In the sixth postoperative year, she was readmitted due to ascending aorta rupture, resulting in blood entering the right atrium and causing acute right heart failure.
