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 …

Objective Whether the aortopathy associated with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease
occurs secondary to genetic or hemodynamic factors remains controversial. In this article we …

We compared the long-term outcomes and difference in dilatation rates of the ascending
aorta after aortic valve (AV) replacement (AVR) between bicuspid and tricuspid AV patients …

Bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) are associated with ascending aortic aneurysms. We studied
BAV patients before and after aortic valve replacement (AVR) to determine the risk and …

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

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

OBJECTIVES The fate of the aortic dimensions in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)
after aortic valve replacement (AVR) is unclear. We investigated the evolution of aortic root …

BACKGROUND: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a risk factor for aortic dissection and
aneurysm. We studied patients with BAV and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) to evaluate long …
