Journal ArticleDOI

Predictors of ascending aortic dilatation with bicuspid aortic valve: a wide spectrum of disease expression

TL;DR: Encouragingly, a positive correlation was observed between degree of stenosis and mid-ascending size (p=0.016) and this could suggest that surgical approach may spare the root in most BAV patients, suggesting a post-stenotic causative mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pattern of ascending aortic dimensions predicts the growth rate of the aorta in patients with bicuspid aortic valve.

TL;DR: In patients with BAV, the root phenotype may be a marker of more severe aortopathy, warranting closer surveillance and earlier treatment, and the more common ascending phenotype proved to be a more stable disease entity, generally with slower progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immediate versus delayed endovascular treatment of post-traumatic aortic pseudoaneurysms and type B dissections: retrospective analysis and premises to the upcoming European trial.

TL;DR: It has been observed that an immediate endovascular treatment allows a safe management of all patients with complete healing of the aortic wall and regression of the pseudoaneurysm in the PAP group and thrombosis of the false lumen in TBD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of type B aortic dissection: endoluminal repair or conventional medical therapy?

TL;DR: Although with still considerable early mortality, endovascular stent-graft implantation is an effective option for the treatment of complicated type B aortic dissection, even in patients with worse preoperative conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ascending aorta with bicuspid aortic valve: a phenotypic classification with potential prognostic significance

TL;DR: When tested on a large population, three previously suggested phenotypic classifications of the BAV aorta proved to categorize patients into significantly different clusters, but only the classification system distinguishing between ascending phenotype and root phenotype showed a potential prognostic value.
