We performed a systematic review of the current state of the literature regarding the natural
history and outcomes of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). PubMed and the reference lists of the …

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital valvular defect and is associated
with ascending aortic dilation (AAD) in a quarter of patients. AAD has been ascribed both to …

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) associated with aortopathy is the most common congenital heart
disease in the general population. Far from being a simple harmless valve malformation, it …

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

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients have an increased incidence of developing aortic
dilation. Despite its importance, the pathogenesis of aortopathy in BAV is still largely …

Dilatation of the aorta is a constantly evolving condition that can lead to the ultimate life-
threatening event, acute aortic dissection. Recent research has tried to identify quantifiable …

Aims To compare the stiffness index in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with first-
degree relatives at each segment of the thoracic ascending aorta and to compare segmental …

Aim To evaluate the impact of the 2 most common bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) morphology
patterns [right‐left (RL) vs right‐noncoronary (RN) cusp fusion] on the aortic diameters and …

Objective Determine whether associations between bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) phenotypes,
valve disease and aortopathy differ between sexes. Methods 1045 patients with BAV (76.0 …

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital heart defect that affects 0.5–2% of the general
population with familial predominance. The modifications in hemodynamics and structure …
