Aortic Dilatation in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Valve [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality. BAV aortic dilatation is associated with an increased risk of adverse aortic events and represents a potentially lethal disease and hence a considerable medical burden.

Association of hemodynamic factors and progressive aortic dilatation following type A aortic dissection surgical repair [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) involves the ascending aorta or the arch. Acute TAAD usually requires urgent replacement of the ascending aorta. However, a subset of these patients develops aortic rupture due to further dilatation of the residual ...

Family screening for bicuspid aortic valve and aortic dilatation: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
Eur Heart J, 2023 Aims International guidelines recommend screening of first-degree relatives (FDR) of people with bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs). However, the prevalence of BAV and of aortic dilatation amongst family members is uncertain.

Post-stenotic aortic dilatation [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2006 Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease affecting up to 4% of the elderly population. It can be associated with dilatation of the ascending aorta and subsequent dissection.

Root Dilatation Is More Malignant Than Ascending Aortic Dilation [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021 Background Data from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection indicate that the guideline criterion of 5.5 cm for ascending aortic intervention misses many dissections occurring at smaller dimensions. Furthermore, studies of natural behavior

Aortic Dilatation in Children and Young People With ADPKD [PDF]
Kidney International ReportsIntroduction: Aortic root dilatation is a reported cardiovascular sequela seen in children and young people (CYP) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) but has yet to be described in those with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

The Presence of Ascending Aortic Dilatation in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Is Negatively Correlated with the Presence of Diabetes Mellitus and Does Not Impair Post-Procedural Outcomes [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2023 Both relevant aortic valve stenosis (AS) and aortic valve insufficiency significantly contribute to structural changes in the ascending aorta (AA) and thus to its dilatation.

No beneficial effect of general and specific anti-inflammatory therapies on aortic dilatation in Marfan mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 AIMS:Patients with Marfan syndrome have an increased risk of life-threatening aortic complications, mostly preceded by aortic dilatation. In the FBN1(C1039G/+) Marfan mouse model, losartan decreases aortic root dilatation.

SMAD3 contributes to ascending aortic dilatation independent of transforming growth factor-beta in bicuspid and unicuspid aortic valve disease [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 We sought to determine whether there are differences in transforming growth factor-beta (TGFß) signaling in aneurysms associated with bicuspid (BAV) and unicuspid (UAV) aortic valves versus normal aortic valves.
