Relation of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Morphology to the Dilatation Pattern of the Proximal Aorta: Focus on the Transvalvular Flow

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2012
Whether the dilatation of proximal aorta in patients with bicuspid aortic valve is secondary to hemodynamic effects related to the abnormal aortic valve or a primary manifestation of the genetic disorder remains controversial.

Etiology and distribution of isolated aortic stenosis in Indian patients – A study from a large tertiary care hospital in north India

Indian Heart Journal, 2020
Background: Isolated aortic valve disease (IAVD) has traditionally been a disease of elderly, etiology being either senile degeneration of a tricuspid aortic valve or calcification of a bicuspid aortic valve.

Challenging Anatomies for TAVR—Bicuspid and Beyond

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has emerged as the standard treatment for the majority of patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. As transcatheter aortic valve replacement expands to patients across all risk groups, optimal patient selection ...

Real-time imaging required for optimal echocardiographic assessment of aortic valve calcification [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction Aortic valve calcification (AVC), even without haemodynamic significance, may be prognostically import as an expression of generalized atherosclerosis, but techniques for echocardiographic assessment are essentially unexplored.

Three Stage Hybrid Approach for Congenital Aortic Coarctation and Bicuspid Aortic Valve With Severe Aortic Stenosis in an Adult Patient

EJVES Short Reports, 2019
Introduction: Untreated congenital aortic coarctation and valvular abnormalities are rare in an adult patient and require complex management. Report: A 68 year old woman with congenital aortic coarctation and bicuspid aortic valve with severe aortic ...

Variability in surveillance practice for patients with diagnosis of bicuspid aortic valve syndrome

Scientific Reports, 2022
In patients with bicuspid aortic valves, guidelines call for regular follow-up to monitor disease progression and guide intervention. We aimed to evaluate how closely these recommendations are followed at a tertiary care center. Among 48,504 patients who

Comparative study of wall shear stress at the ascending aorta for different mechanical heart valve prostheses [PDF]

, 2019
An experimental study is reported which investigates the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in a transparent model of the human aorta comparing a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) with a trileaflet mechanical heart valve (TMHV) in physiological ...

Candidate gene resequencing in a large bicuspid aortic valve-associated thoracic aortic aneurysm cohort: SMAD6 as an important contributor [PDF]

, 2017
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect. Although many BAV patients remain asymptomatic, at least 20% develop thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA).

Dissection of the aorta, a rare combination of coarctation, a bicuspid aortic valve, and hypertension in a young patient

The Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2012
Aortic dissection is an uncommon but very lethal disease. Majority of cases are found in elderly patients with a history of hypertension. Young patients usually have other risk factors such as vasculitis, Marfan syndrome, unrecognized coarctation of the ...
