Background A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac
malformation and is associated with ascending aortic dilation in 60%–80% of patients. In this …

Background: A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac
malformation and is associated with ascending aortic dilation in 60-80% of patients …

OBJECTIVES Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-related aortopathy is increasingly recognized to
be a heterogeneous disease entity, although the surgical approach, from indications to …

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)–associated aortopathy is heterogeneous and still
insufficiently defined. We prospectively analyzed the morphologic and functional variables of …

Objectives: We sought to define the clinical importance of an integrated classification of
bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) phenotypes and aortopathy using multidetector computed …

OBJECTIVES We prospectively examined functional characteristics of the aortic root and
transvalvular haemodynamic flow in order to define factors associated with the severity of …

Both genetic and haemodynamic theories explain the aetiology, progression and optimal
management of bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy. In recent years, the haemodynamic theory …

Objectives Bicuspid aortic valve, characterized by valve malformation and risk for
aortopathy, displays profound alteration in systolic aortic outflow and wall shear stress …

BACKGROUND: Bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) are associated with aortopathy. Recent
studies suggest that aortic dilatation is more likely to be seen with left-right coronary cusp …

Background: The presence of a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) might be associated with a
progressive dilatation of the aortic root and ascending aorta. However, involvement of the …
