Background Bicuspid aortic valve disease (BAV) is increasingly recognized as a disease of
the entire proximal aorta including both valvular and vascular complications. The aim of our …

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is associated with an aortopathy resulting
in aneurysmal dilatation spanning the root, ascending, and arch segments. No large series …

Background The surgical threshold for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-related aortopathy is a
matter of debate due to its uncertain etiology and prognosis. This study investigated the …

Objectives The aims of the present study were to compare the long-term outcomes for
ascending aortic dilatation and adverse aortic events after isolated aortic valve replacement …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate aortic media changes in bicuspid aortic
valve (BAV) patients who underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) and simultaneous …

OBJECTIVES Patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) often present with a dilated
ascending aorta. However, the underlying pathogenesis for the observed changes in the …

Objective To determine whether aortic medial changes are more severe in patients who
require aortic valve replacement of congenitally bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) than in patients …

Objective Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with a higher risk of type A aortic
dissection (AD) compared with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). We sought to study differences …

Dilation of the ascending aorta (AA), which is disproportionate to associated valvular
lesions, is a relatively well-recognized phenomenon in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve …

Aim Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a very heterogeneous disorder and risk of aortic events in
BAV may be influenced by phenotype of the disease. Correlation has been proposed …
