Risk of aortic root or ascending aorta complications in patients with bicuspid aortic valve with and without coarctation of the aorta.

29 Sep 2009 The actual incidence of ascending aorta complications (AACs) in adults with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and the role of associated coarctation of the aorta (COA) as an independent risk factor for AACs remain unknown. From the Adult Congenital Heart ... Read more...

Surgical treatment of patients enrolled in the national registry of genetically triggered thoracic aortic conditions.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Genetic disorders are an important cause of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) in young patients. Despite advances in the treatment of genetically triggered TAAs, the optimal syndrome-specific treatment approach remains undefined. We used ... Read more...

Rare type of quadricuspid aortic valve requiring surgical replacement.

23 Aug 2009 Quadricuspid aortic valve, a rare congenital anomaly, is often related to severe aortic regurgitation and has a significant morbidity. The first described case was reported in 1862. Quadricuspid aortic valve is, in most cases, an isolated ... Read more...
