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.

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

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

Update on supra-annular sizing of transcatheter aortic valve prostheses in raphe-type bicuspid aortic valve disease according to the LIRA method. [PDF]
Recent evidence has shown that transcatheter heart valve (THV) anchoring in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients occurs at the level of the raphe, known as the LIRA (Level of Implantation at the RAphe) plane.

Transcatheter Treatment of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease: Imaging and Interventional Considerations [PDF]
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

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.

Thoracic aortopathy in Marfan syndrome overlaps with mechanisms seen in bicuspid aortic valve disease. [PDF]
Background Thoracic aortopathy is a serious complication which is more often seen in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) than in individuals with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). The identification of common
