Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart disease and exposes patients to
an increased risk of aortic dilation and dissection. Aortic dilation is a slow, silent process …

BAV aortopathy is a common and heterogenous clinical problem. The decision making
around timing of intervention requires a personalized approach that is based on the aortic …

The diagnosis of aneurysms is informed by empirically tracking their size and growth rate.
Here, by analysing the growth of aortic aneurysms from first principles via linear stability …

Abstract Objective Three-dimensional (3D) time-resolved phase-contrast cardiac magnetic
resonance (4D flow CMR) allows for unparalleled quantification of blood velocity. Despite …

Accurate hemodynamic analysis is not only crucial for successful diagnosis of coarctation of
the aorta (COA), but intervention decisions also rely on the hemodynamics assessment in …

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a frequently used minimally invasive
intervention for patient with aortic stenosis across a broad risk spectrum. While coronary …

Aims Aortic wall shear stress (WSS) distributions in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients have
been associated with aortic dilatation, but prospective, longitudinal data are missing. This …

Aortic blood flow patterns are closely linked to the morphology and function of the left
ventricle, aortic valve and aorta. These flow patterns demonstrate the exceptional …

Objectives: Clinical management decisions surrounding ascending aorta (AAo) dilation in
bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease benefit from personalized predictive tools. 4D-flow MRI …

Purpose Current intervention guidelines for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) associated
ascending aorta (AAo) dilatation are suboptimal predictors of clinical outcome. There is …
