Determinants of Aortic Stenosis Progression in Bicuspid and Tricuspid Aortic Valves
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with a faster progression of aortic stenosis (AS). Whether the determinants of AS progression are the same or different in patients with BAV vs tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) is unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with the progression of AS in patients with BAV vs patients with ...

Comparable Outcomes of Bicuspid Aortic Valves for Rapid- Deployment Aortic Valve Replacement
Background: Edwards Intuity is recognized as a relatively contraindicated bioprosthesis for bicuspid aortic valve disease. This study compared the early echocardiographic and clinical outcomes of rapid-deployment aortic valve replacement for bicuspid ...

Quadricuspid aortic valve repair with a modified‐tricuspidization technique
AbstractIntroductionQuadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is an extremely rare developmental abnormality with an incidence of 0.006%. QAV is an incidental finding that in some patients (23%) may determine aortic regurgitation (AR). Altogether 16% of patients indeed require surgery with AR being the most frequent indication.Methods and resultsWe describe a ...

Right and left-sided infective endocarditis in an IV drug abuser
Infective endocarditis (IE) involving multiple cardiac valves is uncommon and has more risk of complications. We present an interesting case of infective endocarditis involving both aortic and tricuspid valves, suspected based on clinical presentation ...

Percutaneous Treatment of Severe Aortic Regurgitation After Surgical Mitral Valve Repair
A 54-year-old woman who had recently undergone surgical mitral and tricuspid valve repair was diagnosed with severe aortic regurgitation. She was scheduled for percutaneous treatment and underwent successful transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a

The aortic valve (AV) is a three-dimensional structure, with leaflets that are suspended within the functional aortic annulus (FAA). These structures (AV and FAA) are therefore intrinsically connected and disease of just one component can independently lead to AV dysfunction.
