Background The magnitude of ascending aortic degeneration in patients with bicuspid aortic
valves (BAV) is controversial. Methods The aim of this study was to investigate ascending …

Objective Whether the aortopathy associated with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease
occurs secondary to genetic or hemodynamic factors remains controversial. In this article we …

We compared the long-term outcomes and difference in dilatation rates of the ascending
aorta after aortic valve (AV) replacement (AVR) between bicuspid and tricuspid AV patients …

Objectives Consensus has not been reached on whether or not to replace or preserve a well-
functioning bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) in patients undergoing aortic replacement for the …

Background Predictors of thoracic aorta growth and early cardiac surgery in patients with
bicuspid aortic valve are undefined. Our aim was to identify predictors of ascending aorta …

Objective: A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) may be associated with an aortopathy affecting
clinical outcome. Our aim was to assess long-term outcome and analyse if progressive aortic …

BACKGROUND: The natural history and management of ascending aorta (AA) and arch
dilatation in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) after aortic valve replacement (AVR) or …

Background—Patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) have been frequently complicated
with ascending aortic dilation possibly because of hemodynamic burdens by aortic stenosis …

Background A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac
malformation. The development of the aortic valve is closely related to the development of …

BACKGROUND: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a risk factor for aortic dissection and
aneurysm. We studied patients with BAV and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) to evaluate long …
