    Aortic diameter at the time of Type A dissection is consistent with the new guidelines which recommend surgical intervention at 5.0cm. Type B dissection occurs at small sizes and cannot be prevented using a size criterion.

    • Amazing and probably true based on personal experience. #BAV with⬇️risk for dissection. Turns out atherosclerosis is more risky. Things they are a-changin...@ShelbyKuttyMD @AlexFrogoudaki @alexvdbruaene @drelisabradley https://t.co/dxIcPN3nOZ

    Root dilatation in TA persists for up to 30 years post-repair. Patients with bicuspid and quadricuspid truncal valves demonstrated greater root dilatation over time and required more valve interventions. Continued longitudinal follow-up is warranted in this higher-risk cohort.

    • Important data IMO. #Truncus has stable z-scores over time. #BAV and #QAV aortas bigger than #TAV at baseline, but rate of change over time no different. BAV/QAV more likely require valve surgery. @ShelbyKuttyMD @AlexFrogoudaki @AliZaidiMD https://t.co/BaYzGg27K4

    Background Description of cerebral and retinal infarction in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is limited to case reports. We aimed to characterize cerebral and retinal infarction and examine outcomes in patients with BAV. Methods and Results Consecutive patients from 1975 to 2015 with BAV ( …

    • Interesting and something I don't think much about. Cardioembolic stroke in #BAV. Makes sense. Should it change management/lead surgical decision making/choice of TAVR vs SAVR? Food for thought! @ShelbyKuttyMD @AliZaidiMD @HuieLin https://t.co/mDI3QrfBG1

    The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect with an estimated prevalence of between 0.5% and 2% in the United States, representing up to 6.5 million individuals. Most individuals with BAV will develop valvular and/or aortic complications related to their BAV. How these various complications relate to one another and why they arise remain elusive. Yet, astute…

    • Review article indicates consistent utilization of valvular, aortic, and genetic classification systems in the management and study of #BAV may facilitate insight into the patterns of the disease. https://t.co/jZPNS3thtN https://t.co/ZREP3Sf4dT
