Aortic Dilatation in Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve

New England Journal of Medicine, 2014
Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart defect in adults. Dilatation of the proximal aorta, or bicuspid aortopathy, is present in approximately half these patients and can lead to complications, including aneurysm formation and aortic dissection.

Aortic Dilatation in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2012
La valvula aortica bicuspide (VAB) es la anomalia cardiaca congenita mas comun, con una incidencia de un 0,5-1,4% de la poblacion. De forma esporadica, esta anomalia se transmite geneticamente segun un patron de herencia autosomico dominante, con un predominio en varones de 3:1.

Abdominal Aortic Dilatation in Japanese Residents

International Journal of Angiology, 1999
The correlation between abdominal aortic dilatation and arteriosclerotic risk factors was studied in 2514 Japanese residents (947 men, 1567 women, mean age 70 years old). The aortic diameter was measured by ultrasound and an aortic dilatation was defined as above 30 mm in diameter, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Aortic root dilation in acromegaly

BMJ Case Reports
Previous studies have linked persistent elevations in growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) to cardiac abnormalities including aortic root dilation. Guidelines in the management of this dilation below the size recommended for surgery have not been well defined but follow-up and intervention when appropriate could be life-saving ...

Bicuspid aortic valve and associated aortic dilation in the young

Heart, 2012
Background The aorta in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is larger and grows more rapidly than in patients with tricommissural aortic valve. Young patients with BAV can have significant aortic dilation that places them at risk for morbidity and mortality ...

Aortic distensibility and dilation in Turner’s syndrome

Cardiology in the Young, 2009
AbstractBackgroundAortic dilation and dissection is reported in patients with Turner’s syndrome, both with and without cardiovascular risk factors. The bicuspid aortic valve is closely associated with dilated aortic root, although expression of aortic dilation is variable.

Aortic Valve Dilation

2009
In aortic stenosis the valve is most often bicuspid with a single fused commissure, either the intercoronary or right and noncoronary commissure. Less frequently, it is unicommissural, with an orifice at the left and noncoronary commissure (1). The course of left-sided disease is quite different from that of the right side.

Aortic root dilatation in patients with emphysema

American Heart Journal, 2001
Abdominal aortic aneurysms have been recognized to occur more frequently in patients with emphysema. However, the prevalence of aortic root dilatation in patients with emphysema and its relationship to risk factors for aortic enlargement have not been previously described.We studied 47 patients, past smokers (aged 67 +/- 6 years, 18 women) with severe ...

Clinical significance of aortic graft dilation

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1991
To determine if there is a relationship between aortic graft dilation and graft complications, 443 serial ultrasound studies performed on 106 patients were analyzed. Of 443 studies, 243 were done retrospectively on 59 patients from 3 to 144 months (mean, 38 months) after graft implantation.
