Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis has been considered a relative
contraindication to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We compared the …

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the treatment of choice for aortic stenosis.
However, its safety and efficacy in patients with the bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) remain …

Objective The study objective was to determine the effect of sinutubular junction stabilization
on long-term outcomes of bicuspid aortic valve repair. Methods From January 1998 to …

The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart valve defect, affecting
approximately 1% of the population. In addition to valvular lesions and congenital defects …

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)–associated aortopathy is heterogeneous and still
insufficiently defined. We prospectively analyzed the morphologic and functional variables of …

OBJECTIVES: Aortic dilatation occurs in many patients with bicuspid aortic valves. We have
added root replacement using the remodeling technique originally designed for tricuspid …

Background. A bicuspid aortic valve is commonly associated with other levels of left
ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Providing the bicuspid aortic valve is competent and …

BACKGROUND: Clinical outcomes and echocardiographic parameters associated with
aortic valve replacement (AVR) for bicuspid aortic valve are scarce. METHODS: We …

Background The aorta in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is larger and grows more
rapidly than in patients with tricommissural aortic valve. Young patients with BAV can have …

Objective Differences in clinical presentation between patients with tricuspid aortic valves
(TAVs) or bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) and aortic valve disease are evident. Whether these …
