Researchers ID Genetic Variants Linked to Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

DAIC

1, 2024 — Researchers at UTHealth Houston have identified genetic variants linked to a rare form of bicuspid aortic valve disease that affects young adults and can lead to dangerous and potentially life-threatening aortic complications. tim.hodson Wed, 09/04/2024 - 15:53 Sept.

Case Report: Allograft aortic valve replacement in irreparable infant mitral valve

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

This case report describes a 3-month-old male infant diagnosed with severe mitral stenosis (MS) and mitral regurgitation (MR) by transthoracic echocardiography. The male infant initially underwent complex mitral valve repair surgery.

Bicuspid aortic valve repair—current techniques, outcomes, challenges, and future perspectives

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart condition that can lead to some valve-related complications, such as aortic stenosis and/or regurgitation, and is often associated with aortic root dilation.

Associations of Lifelong Exercise Characteristics With Valvular Function and Aortic Diameters in Patients With a Bicuspid Aortic Valve

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundThe potential impact of exercise on valvular function and aortic diameters in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve remains unclear. Echocardiography was used to assess aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation and to measure diameters at the sinuses of Valsalva and ascending aorta.

Case Report: Mechanical hemolysis resulting from left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after aortic valve replacement relieved by transapical beating-heart septal myectomy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAortic stenosis (AS) in combination with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) has occasionally been reported. Immediately after the procedure, significant systolic anterior motion and mitral regurgitation developed, necessitating a surgical mitral edge-to-edge repair.

Artificial intelligence-enabled phenotyping of patients with severe aortic stenosis: on the recovery of extra-aortic valve cardiac damage after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Open Heart

Objective A novel artificial intelligence-based phenotyping approach to stratify patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been proposed, based on echocardiographic and haemodynamic data. after TAVR, were available from 247 patients (67.5%). ±15.8 ±15.1

Cover Story | Clinical Decision-Making in Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Bicuspid Valves

American College of Cardiology

This technique is now employed in approximately 85% of all isolated aortic valve replacements. In the past decade, the U.S. has seen a 25-fold increase in the use of TAVR, with more than 100,000 performed annually. Despite this growth, there are notable gaps in the evidence.
