Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a safe and
effective alternative to surgery for aortic stenosis (AS). However, there are still differences in …

Objectives The aim of the present study was to assess the differences between BAV and
TAV patients with chronic moderate to severe or severe AS regarding presentation …

Background The surgical threshold for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-related aortopathy is a
matter of debate due to its uncertain etiology and prognosis. This study investigated the …

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with an asymmetric (not circular)
aortic root, resulting in variability in the aortic root diameter measurements obtained using …

Background It is unclear whether increased left ventricular (LV) thickness is associated with
worse clinical outcomes in severe aortic stenosis (AS). The aim of this study was to …

Objectives Bicuspid aortic valves have been excluded from randomized trials comparing
transcatheter aortic valve replacement with surgical aortic valve replacement. We aimed to …

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 …

Ascending aortic dilatation in TAVI: Actor or bystander? Ascending aortic dilatation in TAVI:
Actor or bystander? Int J Cardiol. 2024 Apr 23:132089. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132089 …

Both relevant aortic valve stenosis (AS) and aortic valve insufficiency significantly contribute
to structural changes in the ascending aorta (AA) and thus to its dilatation. In patients with …

About 1% of the population is born with an aortic valve composed of only two cusps, called a
bicuspid aortic valve. Bicuspid aortic valve is associated with a high risk of both aortic valve …
