Mashup Score: 0The Role of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients With Bicuspid Valves in 2023 - 10 month(s) ago
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect, occurring in 1% to 2% of the general population.1 Compared with individuals having normal tricuspid aortic valves, those with BAVs are more likely to develop calcification on valve leaflets and raphe and dilation of the ascending aorta (aortopathy)—and at a much earlier age. For highly select patients with severe BAV…
