Abstract
We present a case of a 31 year-old male patient with a congenital heart disease — bicuspid aortic valve with secondary
aortic valve insufficiency, in whom recurrent syncope associated with episodes of complete atrioventricular block was observed.
After implantation of a pacemaker syncope did not reccur. Due to risk of complications with bicuspid aortic valve it
was decided that surgical treatment should be considered in this case.
