miR-130a expression is related to aortic dilation in bicuspid aortic valve children
BackgroundBicuspid aortic valve disease (BAV) is present in 0.5–2% of the population and can promote aortic dilation, eventually leading to fatal...

Aortic root rotational position associates with aortic valvar incompetence and aortic dilation after arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries
Purpose : Aortic dilation and valvar regurgitation can develop in transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after the arterial switch operation (ASO)....

Systolic reverse flow derived from 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance in bicuspid aortic valve is associated with aortic dilation and aortic valve stenosis: a cross sectional study in 655 subjects
BackgroundBicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is associated with increased risk of aortopathy. In addition to current intervention guidelines, BAV...

Short- to mid-term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with ascending aorta dilation: a single-centre retrospective analysis
ObjectivesAscending aorta dilation (AAD) is frequently associated with aortic stenosis (AS). This study investigated the procedural and clinical...

Morphology, Clinical Associations, and Pathologic Follow-up of Quadricuspid Aortic Valves in Children
While quadricuspid morphology is commonly observed in truncal valves, quadricuspid aortic valves (QAV) are rare and their natural history is not well...

Outcomes of valve-sparing aortic root replacement in patients with bicuspid aortic valve and tricuspid aortic valve: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BackgroundValve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSARR) is a safe and effective surgical procedure to treat aortic root aneurysm. This meta-analysis...

Echocardiogram-Guided Balloon Valvuloplasty of the Aortic Valve in Neonates and Infants Reduces Contrast Exposure with Maintained Efficacy and Less Aortic Regurgitation
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) is performed in children with significant aortic stenosis (AS). Traditionally, contrast angiography measures the...

A case of stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination of distal remaining aortic dissection after the ascending aorta and aortic arch replacement for acute aortic dissection
BackgroundThe early survival rate of patients with acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD) has improved remarkably over the past two decades. However,...
