Abstract This International Consensus Classification and Nomenclature for the congenital
bicuspid aortic valve condition recognizes 3 types of bicuspid valves: 1. The fused type (right …

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed
countries and is associated with the development of severe secondary complications such …

Objectives This study sought to assess the predictive value of wall shear stress (WSS) for
colocalized ascending aorta (AAo) growth rate (GR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve …

Indications for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have expanded in many
countries to include patients with aortic stenosis who are at low surgical risk, and a similar …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of wall shear stress (WSS) as a
predictor of ascending aorta (AAo) growth at 5 years or greater follow-up. Background Aortic …

Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart disease and exposes patients to
an increased risk of aortic dilation and dissection. Aortic dilation is a slow, silent process …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important tool for the clinical evaluation
of patients with cardiac and vascular diseases. Since its introduction in the late 1980s …

Objectives: In thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) of the ascending aorta (AA), AA is
progressively dilating due to the weakening of the aortic wall. Predicting and preventing …

Of the clinical practice guideline of the Japanese Circulation Society concerning aortic
diseases, the Guidelines on Diagnosis and Treatment of Aortic Dissection (first edition) were …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) four-dimensional (4D) flow is a type of phase-contrast
