Open AccessBicuspid aortic valve annulus: assessment of geometry and size changes during the cardiac cycle as measured with a standardized method to define the annular plane
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a complex malformation affecting not merely the aortic valve. However, little is known regarding the dynamic physiology of the aortic annulus in these patients and whether it is ...

Bicuspid Aortic Valve
An aortic valve typically consists of three leaflets: two are named after their orientation relative to the left and right coronary artery, while the third is called the non-coronary cusp. In 0.5–2% of the gen...
