Calcification of bicuspid aortic valves.
Over the past decade, our concept of the pathogenesis of calcific aortic valve disease has undergone a major transformation. We now recognise that calcific valve disease is the end stage of an active disease process and is not caused by “wear and tear” of the valve tissue. Immunohistochemical studies of trileaflet aortic valves with varying degrees of valve stenosis have demonstrated the presen...

متن کاملImplications of bicuspid aortic valves for transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
B icuspid aortic valve (BAV) occurs in 0.5% to 2% of the general population, with strong male predilection. 1 Valvular complications include aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation (AR), and infective endocarditis. Vascular complications comprise aortic dilatation, aneurysm formation, and aortic dissection. Coarctation of the aorta and left coronary artery dominance are also associated with BAV. ...
متن کاملIncidence of aortic complications in patients with bicuspid aortic valves.
CONTEXT Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital heart defect, has been thought to cause frequent and severe aortic complications; however, long-term, population-based data are lacking. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of aortic complications in patients with BAV in a community cohort and in the general population. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this retrospective c...
متن کاملRepair of bicuspid aortic valves in patients with aortic regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Bicuspid aortic valve regurgitation can be caused by a defect in the valve itself or by dysfunction of one or more components of the aortic root complex. A successful repair thus requires correction of all aspects of the problem simultaneously. We review our experience addressing both the valve and the aortic root when correcting bicuspid valve regurgitation. METHODS AND RESULTS Be...
