Abstract
We report on a case of thrombus formation on a native bicuspid aortic valve, which was found during an elective operation for aortic valve replacement. Although no apparent predisposing cause of thrombosis could be ascertained, severe calcific stenosis of the bicuspid valve and cardiac catheterization may have played a role. The patient is in excellent condition 9 months after the operation.
