Background: Progression of asymmetric dilated aorta associated with bicuspid aortic valve
(BAV) is difficult to evaluate conventionally. The aim of the study was to calculate the rate of …

OBJECTIVES The treatment of mild-to-moderate aortic dilatation at the time of aortic valve
replacement (AVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is still controversial …

OBJECTIVES Ascending aorta (AA) dilatation in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (AV) is
related both to genetic and haemodynamic factors. The aim of this study is to compare late …

Background A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with premature valve dysfunction
and abnormalities of the ascending aorta. The aim of our study was to assess the degree of …

Methods A retrospective review was conducted of 52 patients (27 males, 25 females; mean
age 69? 9 years) with aortic stenosis who presented with ascending aortic dilatation defined …

BACKGROUND: Aortic complications are more frequent after bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)
replacement (AVR), than tricuspid aortic valve replacement. We studied the size of the …

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 It remains unclear whether aortic valve replacement (AVR) has an effect on the
aortic root dilatation rate in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and tricuspid aortic …

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 …

Objective The appropriate timing of aortic repair in patients with bicuspid aortic valve-related
aortopathy remains controversial. We describe the changes in diameter of the non …
