Fig. 1. Transthoracic echocardiaography showing a unicuspid aortic valve with a raphe at the 11 o’clock position
(upper arrow) and a clear commissure at the 4–5 o’clock position (lower arrow) on a short-axis view during systole
(A), and diastole (B). The aortic valve in an integral movement and in a dome-shaped configuration during systole (C)
and diastole (D), and left ventricular hypertrophy and dilated aortic root extending 3.8 cm in diameter could be seen
from the parasternal long axis view (C, D). AV: aortic valve; LV: left ventricle.
