Objective: This study aimed to describe the features and identify the predictors of ascending
aorta dilatation in patients with congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Methods: In 280 adult …

OBJECTIVES The involvement of different factors in the onset of thoracic aortic aneurysm
(TAA) in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) vs those with a tricuspid aortic valve …

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac
malformation, which is often complicated by aortic valve stenosis (AoS). In tricuspid aortic …

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 …

Objective: There is an ongoing discussion regarding the mechanism of aortic dilatation in
bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease, that is, is this a hemodynamic effect or related to an …

Background There is little evidence on managing the proximal aorta of 4.0-4.5 cm during
aortic valve replacement (AVR) in bicuspid aortic valve patients. Methods A total of 431 …

Background: Dilatation of the ascending aorta affects those patients with bicuspid aortic
valve (BAV), even after valvular surgery, possibly due to tissue fragility. The goal of the study …

Aims To compare the progression of aortic stenosis (AS) in patients with bicuspid aortic
valve (BAV) or tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). Methods and results One hundred and forty-one …

Objective Decision making regarding the management of the ascending aorta (AA) in
patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) undergoing valve surgery has hardly been …

Objective The bicuspid aorta is thought to have a higher risk of progressive dilation after
aortic valve replacement with a subsequently increased risk of adverse aortic events. Our …
