The ascending aorta with bicuspid aortic valve: a phenotypic classification with potential prognostic significance.
OBJECTIVES Different methods to classify the anatomical configurations of the aorta with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) have been proposed. We aimed to test them in terms of descriptive power (i.e. capability to identify different clusters of patients with unique associations of anatomo-clinical features) and possible prognostic significance. METHODS A consecutive echocardiographic series of 696...
متن کاملBicuspid aortic valve disease beyond the aortic root: potential prognostic implications for ascending aortic dilation.
Aortic root dilation is an important, potentially lethal omplication of BAV (4) that substantially increases the risk f ascending aortic aneurysm, dissection, and rupture (3). uriously, aortic valve replacement does not prevent proressive dilation of the ascending aorta (5), suggesting that echanisms unrelated to hemodynamic factors, or to the alve per se, contribute to the aortopathy of BAV. A...
متن کاملAortic Dilatation at Different Levels of the Ascending Aorta in Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve.
INTRODUCTION Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common form of adult congenital heart disease. When compared to patients with a normal trileaflet aortic valve, dilatation of the aortic root and the ascending aorta (Asc Ao) are the common findings in patients with BAV, with consequent higher risk of developing aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection and rupture. We aim to determine the site of t...
متن کاملShould the ascending aorta be replaced less frequently in patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease?
I read with interest the recent article by Girdauskas et al. [1] concerning the risk of late aortic events after aortic valve replacement in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients with ascending aortic dilatation. The risk of late aortic events was low in their study group, with a freedom from adverse events of 95% at 10 years and 93% at 15 years, and freedom from aortic interventions of 97 and 9...
متن کاملBicuspid aortic valve is associated with altered wall shear stress in the ascending aorta.
BACKGROUND Hemodynamics may play a role contributing to the progression of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) aortopathy. This study measured the impact of BAV on the distribution of regional aortic wall shear stress (WSS) compared with control cohorts. METHODS AND RESULTS Local WSS distribution was measured in the thoracic aorta of 60 subjects using 4-dimensional (4D) flow-sensitive magnetic resona...
