Morphology and Morphometry of Bicuspid Valve in Human Fetal Cadavers
نویسنده
چکیده
A preliminary study of certain morphometric parameters of Bicuspid valve was undertaken in 40 aborted fetuses of 16 weeks to full term to provide a database that will be of help to cardiac surgeons to rule out abnormal measurements. AV circumference, frontal and sagittal dimensions, width of anterior cusp and AV circumference increased significantly in males. Width of posterior cusp increased significantly in both sexes. A correlation coefficient of all fetal bicuspid parameters positively correlated with each other. Bicuspid valve dimensions provide new information about its normal and abnormal function that will be of use in valve replacement surgeries.

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 کاملPhase contrast 4D flow in bicuspid aortic valves in a porcine model
Background Bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) are associated with aneurysms of the ascending aorta (AAA). It is unclear whether these aneurysms are caused by tissue alterations of the aortic wall or by alterations of blood flow in the ascending aorta due to the bicuspid valve morphology. In this study we analyzed the phase contrast 4D flow characteristics in normal tricuspid aortic valves (TAV) in a ...
متن کامل4D flow MRI demonstrates altered aortic hemodynamics in patients with right-left and right-noncoronary bicuspid aortic valve fusion patterns
Background Altered aortic hemodynamics associated with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) have been implicated in the development of aortopathy in patients with congenitally altered valves[1]. Most studies have focused on the most common “right-left” bicuspid aortic valve (RL-BAV) fusion pattern [2]. This study assessed the effects of valve morphology on aortic 3D blood flow in cohorts with the most c...
متن کاملMultimodality imaging of isolated bicuspid pulmonary valve leading to pulmonary stenosis
Isolated bicuspid pulmonary valve is a rare arterial valve anomaly with very few reports in the literature. It is usually in association with other congenital cardiac lesions. However, the true incidence of bicuspid pulmonary valve could be underestimated because of the difficulty in imaging pulmonary valve morphology with conventional two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. A 21-year-o...
متن کاملA novel comprehensive classification system for bicuspid aortic valve morphology at cardiac MRI and initial results in 368 patients
Background Significant morphological heterogeneity is known to exist among subjects with bicuspid aortic valves (BAV). Accompanying this is the recognition of varied penetrance of phenotypic aortopathy. A genetic contribution possibly influenced by blood flow patterns in the aortic root has been postulated. Current BAV classification schemes do not comprehensively characterize the heterogeneous...
