Bicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
متن کاملExtensive aortic valve ring abscess formation: a rare complication of Q fever endocarditis.
We report the successful management and 2 year follow up of a young patient with Q fever endocarditis on a congenitally bicuspid aortic valve complicated by extensive abscess formation in the aortic valve ring and interventricular septum. Aortic root abscess formation complicating Q fever endocarditis has been reported in only one previous patient. Serological tests may thus be indicated in pat...
متن کاملSpontaneous Thrombosis of a Bicuspid Aortic valve due to Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome
We present the case of a 51-year-old man who was admitted as an emergency with spontaneous thrombosis of the aortic valve and ascending aorta. At operation he was found to have a congenitally bicuspid aortic valve and subsequent investigation revealed primary antiphospholipid syndrome. He underwent successful removal of the thrombus combined with mechanical replacement of the aortic valve.
متن کاملDilatation of the ascending aorta in patients with congenitally bicuspid aortic valves
INTRODUCTION The cause of ascending aortic dilatation occurring in patients with congenitally bicuspid aortic valves was investigated. METHODS Flow patterns through human aortic roots with congenitally bicuspid aortic valves as well as through porcine constricted aortas were studied in a left heart simulator. Vibration was recorded as a measure of turbulence in the post-stenotic segment. Hist...
متن کاملCoronary arterial anatomy in bicuspid aortic valve. Necropsy study of 100 hearts.
In a necropsy study, the conjoined cusps of 50 congenitally and 50 acquired bicuspid aortic valves most commonly involved the right and left aortic cusps. In hearts with congenitally bicuspid aortic valves, the left coronary ostium arose at or above the aortic sinotubular junction in 44 per cent, whereas the incidence for the left coronary ostium in the acquired group was 20 per cent and that f...
