A retrospective analysis of mitral valve pathology in the setting of bicuspid aortic valves
The therapeutic implications of bicuspid aortic valve associations have come under scrutiny in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation era. We evaluate the spectrum of mitral valve disease in patients with bicuspid aortic valves to determine the need

Bicuspid Aortic Valve Morphology
We read with interest and appreciation 3 recent papers in the Journal on the bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Fernandez et al. ([1][1]) describe distinct developmental patterns for mice and hamsters with right-noncoronary and right-left coronary cusp fusion, respectively.

Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital cardiac malformation, affecting 1%–2% of the population. Among various complications, incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) in the bicuspid aortic valve population is high with higher rate of ...

Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Pregnancy
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart disease. Severe stenosis of BAV and its combination with aortic pathology can cause significant adverse maternal and perinatal consequences. The optimal strategy for medical care of pregnant women with BAV has not been fully elucidated and requires further research. This paper presents 7.5

A TECHNIQUE FOR BICUSPIDIZATION OF THE AORTIC VALVE
Although there are a dozen or more etiologies for aortic insufficiency, the ultimate problem is similar in most cases. There is a disparity between the area of the aortic orifice and the area of valve leaflet with which this orifice must be covered during diastole.

Background: The aortic valve is normally tricuspid but may vary in that it can be made up of 1, 2 or 4 leaflets with each of these often associated with aortopathy, most commonly aortic dilatation.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Bicuspid Aortic Valve
Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is being routinely done in various centres for aortic stenosis due to tricuspid aortic valves. The number of TAVR procedures are increasing, but the data on bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) is scanty. BAV is commonest abnormality in general population and can progress to severe

Background: Antibiotic prophylaxis in bicuspid aortic valve patients is currently a matter of debate. Although it is no longer recommended by international guidelines, some studies indicate a high risk of infective endocarditis.
