Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease: From Pathophysiology to Treatment. [PDF]
The Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) is the most common congenital anomaly in adults, with a global incidence of 1.3%. Despite being well documented, BAV presents significant clinical challenges due to its phenotypic heterogeneity, diverse clinical ...

Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease: Classifications, Treatments, and Emerging Transcatheter Paradigms [PDF]
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital valvular malformation, which may lead to early aortic valve disease and bicuspid-associated aortopathy. A novel BAV classification system was recently proposed to coincide with transcatheter aortic valve

Long-term outcome of bicuspid aortic valve disease. [PDF]
Aims Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital condition that is frequently associated with aortic stenosis (AS) and aortic regurgitation (AR), as well as aortic aneurysms, but specific outcome data are scarce. The present study sought to assess

Hemodynamic Profiles Before and After Surgery in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease—A Systematic Review of the Literature [PDF]
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease presents a unique management challenge both pre- and post-operatively. 4D flow MRI offers multiple tools for the assessment of the thoracic aorta in aortic valve disease.

Characteristics of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease and Stenosis: The National Echo Database of Australia. [PDF]
Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart disease in adults but is clinically heterogeneous. We aimed to describe the echocardiographic characteristics of BAV and compare patients with BAV with moderate‐to‐severe aortic ...

4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance for monitoring of aortic valve repair in bicuspid aortic valve disease [PDF]
Background Aortic valve repair has become a treatment option for adults with symptomatic bicuspid (BAV) or unicuspid (UAV) aortic valve insufficiency. Our aim was to demonstrate the feasibility of 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess

Plasma Metabolomic Profiling Associates Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease and Ascending Aortic Dilation with a Decrease in Antioxidant Capacity. [PDF]
Background: The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common cardiac congenital disease and is associated with an increased risk of developing ascending aorta dilation; which can have fatal consequences.

Implications of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease and Aortic Stenosis/Insufficiency as Risk Factors for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm. [PDF]
Bicuspid Aortic Valves (BAV) are associated with an increased incidence of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA). TAA are a common aortic pathology characterized by enlargement of the aortic root and/or ascending aorta, and may become life threatening when ...

Aortic wall shear stress in bicuspid aortic valve disease-10-year follow-up. [PDF]
Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease leads to deviant helical flow patterns especially in the mid-ascending aorta (AAo), potentially causing wall alterations such as aortic dilation and dissection.
