    Treatment of bicuspid aortic valve disease (an abnormality of the aortic valve) focuses on minimizing any symptoms, maximizing your heart’s ability to pump blood, halting disease progression and avoiding any future complications. If you don’t have any symptoms, your health care provider may choose to watch you over time with periodic examinations. However, medications are the most common way health care providers treat bicuspid aortic valve disease.

    When medication therapy is not successful in relieving symptoms, other treatment options are considered, including noninvasive procedures and surgery.
