Objective Clinical practice guidelines have been established for surgical management of the
aorta in bicuspid aortic valve disease. We hypothesized that surgeons' knowledge of and …

Bicuspid aortic valve disease is a common congenital cardiac disorder, being present in 1%
to 2% of the general population. Associated aortopathy is a common finding in patients with …

BACKGROUND: Bicuspid aortic valve is associated with aortic aneurysm formation that may
extend beyond the ascending aorta. METHODS: Between 1979 and 1997, 143 bicuspid …

OBJECTIVE: The optimal diameter at which replacement of the ascending aorta should be
performed in patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease is not known. METHODS: We …

Bicuspid aortic valve related aortopathy is known to significantly increase the risk for
catastrophic aortic events and, therefore, represents a considerable health burden. Albeit of …

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is the most common congenital cardiac malformation,
being present in 1% to 2% of the population. It is heritable and is three to four times more …

During the past decade, there has been increasing attention to the risk of aortic
complications associated with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease. BAV is a curious …

Research on bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) and associated conditions is increasing
exponentially. A major part of the current knowledge on BAV is derived from investigations …

OBJECTIVES: Bicuspid aortic valves are associated with a poorly characterized connective
tissue disorder that predisposes to aortic catastrophes. Because no criterion exists dictating …
