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 …

OBJECTIVES Various forms of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) aortopathy exist, and the optimal
treatment for the different subgroups is insufficiently defined. We aimed to analyse the risk of …

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 Aberrant flow pattern and congenital fragility bestows bicuspid aortic valve
(BAV) with a propensity toward ascending aorta dilatation, aneurysm, and dissection …

OBJECTIVES The optimal surgical treatment of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)
disease and ascending aortic aneurysm is controversial. The aim of this study was to …

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 …

Background We sought to study the impact of surgical intervention on long-term outcomes in
bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients who develop aortic valvular complications and/or have a …

The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)—until a few decades ago considered a rather harmless
anomaly affecting up to 2% of the general population—has been progressively recognized …

Background: Using echocardiographic surveillance, many patients are diagnosed with
bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) without significant valve dysfunction. Limited data are available …

The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation
associated with aortopathy. The current study provides surgical clinical data on the patient …
