Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart disease, whose natural history is characterized by the incidence of clinically relevant valvular (stenosis, regurgitation, endocarditis) and/or vascular complications regarding the thoracic aorta (dilation, aneurysm, dissection) and, rarely, intracranial and epiaortic arteries.

Preservation of the Bicuspid Aortic Valve
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007Bicuspid anatomy of the aortic valve is a common reason for aortic regurgitation and is associated with aortic dilatation in more than 50% of patients. We have observed different patterns of aortic dilatation and used different approaches preserving the valve.Between October 1995 and February 2006, a regurgitant bicuspid valve was repaired in 173 ...

Aortic Dilatation with Bicuspid Aortic Valve
New England Journal of Medicine, 2014To the Editor: In their review on thoracic aortic dilatation associated with bicuspid aortic valve, Verma and Siu (May 15 issue)1 do not mention the increased prevalence of bicuspid aortic valve and its strong association with aortic dilatation and dissection in women with Turner's syndrome.2 This sex-chromosome disorder, which is caused by the loss of

Aortic strain in bicuspid aortic valve: an analysis
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2021Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is monitored by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography (CT) angiography. However, it does not have any early marker of disease progression. This study evaluated speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) aortic and left ventricular (LV) strain prognostic values, their discriminative power, and their correlation ...

MicroRNAs fingerprint of bicuspid aortic valve
Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2019Aortic valve tissue is largely exposed to high blood flow. Cells belonging to aortic valve tissues are able to detect and respond to flow conditions changes. Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) presents altered morphology, with only two abnormal cusps instead of three.

Are bicuspid aortic valves a limitation for aortic valve repair?
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011To compare the mid-term results after aortic valve (AV) repair in bicuspid AVs with those in tricuspid AVs.Between 2000 and 2010, 100 patients (mean age 47.2 years) underwent AV repair procedures for insufficient bicuspid AV (n=43) and tricuspid AV (n=57).

The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation. Despite being a seemingly simple and harmless anatomic variation, BAV is said to cause more morbidity than any other congenital cardiac defect [52]. BAV may lead to aortic valve stenosis (AS) or regurgitation (AR), endocarditis, an ascending aortic aneurysm, and/or ...

Bicuspid aortic valve in competitive athletes
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2007Aim:Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital cardiac condition. The presence of BAV in non-elite athletes has been poorly investigated; it is usually asymptomatic until valvular stenosis, regurgitation or other vascular alterations are evident.Design:Over a three-year period, 2273 competitive athletes were consecutively investigated with ...

The prevalence of a congenital bicuspid valve (BAV), 1–2 % of the general population, is high enough to warrant attention during auscultation of the heart. BAV occurs as a result of the congenital fusion of the coronary cusps, with the right and left coronary cusps most commonly fused. BAV is most commonly asymptomatic.

Genetics of bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2016The incidence of aortic dilation and acute complications (rupture and dissection) is higher in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most frequent congenital heart defect.The present review focuses on the current knowledge in the genetics of BAV, emphasizing the clinical implications for early detection and personalized care.BAV is a highly ...
