Aortic valve replacement in a bicuspid aortic valve patient followed by reoperation for ascending aorta rupture: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital cardiac anomaly, predisposes individuals to aortic stenosis and regurgitation due to valve degeneration.

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

Heart BMJ

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

Eccentricity Index in Bicuspid Aortic Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Closure line of aortic valve on M-Mode echocardiogram, is seen as central line, while in bicuspid aortic valve, it is an eccentric closure, nearer to one of the walls of the aorta. That is an important feature of bicuspid aortic valve on M-Mode echocardiogram.

AHA Raises Awareness on HVD

DAIC

The Most Common Form of HVD One of the most prevalent and serious forms of heart valve disease is aortic stenosis (AS), a condition characterized by the narrowing of the aortic valve opening, which affects approximately 5% of adults over 65a number expected to more than double by 2050.
