A heart in a heart: a case report of spontaneous flail of bicuspid aortic valve

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2021
Background Aortic regurgitation is attributed to congenital and acquired abnormalities of the aortic valve or aortic valve supporting structures. The most common cause of aortic regurgitation is atherosclerotic degeneration of the valve, especially in ...

Bicuspid aortic valves undergo excessive strain during opening: A simulation study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to examine the influence of the morphologic characteristics of the bicuspid aortic valve on its disease progression by comparing the motion, stress/strain distribution, and blood flow of normal and stenotic ...

Bicuspid aortic valve disease [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Medical Association Journal, 2013
Bicuspid aortic valves are present in 1%–2% of the population, with men being 3 times more commonly affected than women. This disease is more than just anatomic variation and may be associated with other heart and aorta abnormalities as a result of molecular and connective tissue derangements.[1][

Including Aortic Valve Morphology in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: Initial Findings and Application to Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations quantifying thoracic aortic flow patterns have not included disturbances from the aortic valve (AoV). 80% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) which may cause adverse ...

Bicuspid Aortic Valve [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is the most common congenital cardiovascular malformation with prevalence of 1-2% in the human population (Hoffman, 1990; Hoffman & Kaplan, 2002). Current clinical and scientific studies reveal that bicuspid aortic disease is not a simple valve condition.

Proximal aortic stiffening in Turner patients may be present before dilation can be detected : a segmental functional MRI study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: To study segmental structural and functional aortic properties in Turner syndrome (TS) patients. Aortic abnormalities contribute to increased morbidity and mortality of women with Turner syndrome.

Aortic root abscess presenting as alternating bundle branch block: Infective endocarditis of bicuspid aortic valve

open access: yesIndian Heart Journal, 2015
Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital cardiac malformation, affecting 1%–2% of the population. Among various complications, incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) in the bicuspid aortic valve population is high with higher rate of ...

Reimplantation of a bicuspid aortic valve with simultaneous correction of the aortic ductus diverticulum

open access: yesВестник хирургии имени И.И. Грекова, 2020
Reimplantation of a bicuspid aortic valve is relatively rare, and in combination with a the correction of aortic ductus diverticulum is a casuistic case.

Abnormal Haemodynamic Flow Patterns in Bicuspid Pulmonary Valve Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Abnormal flow patterns in the aortas of those with bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) are increasingly recognized as important in the pathogenesis of aortic dilatation but pulmonary flow patterns in bicuspid pulmonary valves have not been studied.

Biological niches within human calcified aortic valves. Towards understanding of the pathological biomineralization process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite recent advances, mineralization site, its microarchitecture, and composition in calcific heart valve remain poorly understood. A multiscale investigation, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ...
