Transcatheter Treatment of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease: Imaging and Interventional Considerations
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018 Patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease have systematically been excluded from large randomized clinical trials investigating transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to their younger age, lower surgical risk and complex aortic anatomy. The

Aortic Coarctation: Recent Developments in Experimental and Computational Methods to Assess Treatments for this Simple Condition [PDF]
, 2010 Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often considered a relatively simple disease, but long-term outcomes suggest otherwise as life expectancies are decades less than in the average population and substantial morbidity often exists.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve Morphology
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010 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 Disease and Ascending Aortic Aneurysms: Gaps in Knowledge
Cardiology Research and Practice, 2012 The bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital cardiac anomaly in developed nations. The abnormal bicuspid morphology of the aortic valve results in valvular dysfunction and subsequent hemodynamic derangements. However, the clinical presentation
