You are contacted by a concerned 34-year-old airline pilot with a leaky bicuspid aortic valve recently diagnosed by an echocardiogram that had been requested by his new employer as part of a routine medical assessment. He claims that he... more
Background. The recognition that patients with a bi- cuspid aortic valve (BAV) are at risk for aorta-related death (rupture or dissection) has favored composite aor- tic root replacement in BAV patients who undergo aortic valve... more
A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) often causes aortic stenosis (AS) or regurgitation (AR). In 54 patients with a BAV (48 +/- 16 years), transthoracic and transesophageal echo were performed to measure aortic annulus diameter (AAD), to... more
We present a large single-center series (>2200 cases) operated for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). We analyzed the incidence of associated unusual and uncommonly described cardiac lesions and their diagnostic and therapeutic implications in... more
Aortic valve replacement options are limited in children, and all of them have disadvantages. Aortic valve repair techniques have evolved slowly and have not gained wide acceptance; however, large series using a variety of techniques... more
This study analyzed the impact of sex, hemodynamic profile, and valve fusion pattern on aortopathy associated with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute-sponsored National Registry of Genetically... more
Background Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital cardiovascular malformation and occurs in 1–2% of the population. The haemodynamic changes appear early, leading to tissue damage and predisposing to germs attachment. The... more
Objectives: Reimplantation valve-sparing aortic root replacement has been increasingly performed with improving perioperative and mid- term results. The success of this operation primarily depends on preserving the highly sophisticated... more
Abstract Background: In patients with bicuspid valve (BAV), ascending aorta (AAo) dilatation may be caused by altered flow patterns and wall shear stress (WSS). These differences may explain different aortic dilatation morphotypes. Using... more
This study sought to examine the relationship between proximal aortic dilation and systemic vascular function in men with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV).Proximal aortic dilation in subjects with BAV is associated with structural and... more
