Methods We reviewed all patients undergoing bicuspid aortic valve replacement from 2003 to 2011 (n=230). The patients were separated into two groups: (1) patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) only (
主动脉瓣二叶畸形(bicuspid aortic valve,BAV)是先天性主动脉瓣畸形中最为常见的一种,其发病率在1%左右,可导致主动脉瓣狭窄(aortic stenosis,AS)或关闭不全(aortic insufficiency,AI),或两者同时存在[1],其中AS占51%,AI占43%,AI+AS占6%[2]。对于BAV引起AI和(或)AS一般进展较缓慢,有些患者可以在相当长的...
AT time,“As treated” time elapsed since start of the procedure; TIA, transient ischemic attack; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; TAVR, transcatheter aortic valve replacement; AVR, aortic valve replacement. ∗ Second event. Temporal Pattern and Risk Factors The instantaneous risk of neurologic events...
Background Bicuspid aortic valves are associated with valvedysfunction, ascending aortic aneurysm and dissection. Management of theascending aorta at the time of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in these patientsis controversial and has been extrapolated from experience with Marfan syndrome,despite the absen...
Bicuspid aortic valveBACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: The ascending aortic dilatation may progress after aortic valve replacement (AVR) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients. Our aim was to evaluate rheological flow patterns and histological characteristics of the aneurysmal aorta in BAV patients ...
The aVR sign characterized by ST-segment elevation in lead aVR and diffuse ST-segment depression on the electrocardiogram indicates potential life-threatening conditions. We report the case of a 53-year-old male with a hi...
