Contribution of rare chromosome 22q11.2 copy number variants to non-syndromic bicuspid aortic valve

Heart BMJ

FEBRUARY 12, 2025

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect in adults, often leading to complications such as thoracic aortic aneurysms and aortic stenosis. While BAV is frequently associated with 22q11.2 This study is aimed to assess the role of rare 22q11.2 region (18–24 Mb).

The large aortic regurgitation jet can be seen as a mosaic jet in the left ventricular outflow tract anterior to the anterior mitral leaflet. A portion of the thickened aortic valve can be seen between the aorta and left ventricle. Thickening of both aortic and mitral leaflets indicate the possible etiology as rheumatic.

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR): AVR is a minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon makes a small incision and allows the heart to continue to beat during the entire procedure. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): TAVR is performed for patients with severe cases of aortic stenosis, which is the thickening of the aortic valve.
