Aortic Dilatation in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Valve [PDF]
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.

A technique for bicuspidization of the aortic valve [PDF]
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.

Bicuspid aortic valve is heritable
Previous studies have established familial clustering of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), presumably indicating genetic inheritance. Our objective was to statistically test whether the segregation pattern of BAV is consistent with genetic inheritance and to obtain an estimate of the size of the genetic effect (heritability).Bicuspid aortic valve occurs in ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) has a prevalence of 0.5–1.39% in the general population. The prevalence of BAV in aortic dissection is 3.5–11.8%. Unfortunately, the incidence of aortic dissection in BAV remains unknown. The etiology of BAV is polygenetic, where environmental factors and unknown genetic factors seem to interact to cause BAV.

Prevalence of Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Associated Aortopathy in Newborns in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Importance The prevalence and characteristics of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) are mainly reported from selected cohorts. BAV is associated with aortopathy, but it is unclear if it represents a fetal developmental defect or is secondary to abnormal valve ...

Clinical implications of the biomechanics of bicuspid aortic valve and bicuspid aortopathy
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), which affects up to 2% of the general population, results from the abnormal fusion of the cusps of the aortic valve. Patients with BAV are at a higher risk for developing aortic dilatation, a condition known as bicuspid ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common valvular congenital anomaly and is apparent in nearly 50% of candidates for AV replacement. While transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a recommended treatment for patients with symptomatic ...
