Determinants of aortic growth rate in patients with bicuspid aortic valve by cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Abstract: ObjectivesThis study aimed to identify determinants of aortic growth rate in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients. We hypothesised that (1) BAV patients with repaired coarctation (CoA) exhibit decreased aortic growth rate, (2) moderate/severe re-coarctation (reCoA) results in increased growth rate, (3) patients with right non-coronary (RN) valve cusps fusion pattern exhibit increased aortic growth rate compared with right-left cusps fusion and type 0 valves.MethodsStarting from n=521 BAV patients with cardiova… Show more

“…As the disease progresses, violations of the mechanical function of the valve increase, those of stenosis or regurgitation. In addition, it has been established that a variant anatomy in the form of a bicuspid form of the aortic valve leads to its degeneration at an earlier age [ 10 ]. In our study, a similar result was obtained: in the BAV group, the mean age was 69.9±6.5 years; in the TAV group, it was 75.0±5.9 years.…”

“…Specifically, the isolated growth captured at the level of the aortic root and ascending aorta reflects the real-life scenario of disease progression in patients with BAV aortopathy [16]. However, given limited sample size, we avoided over-interpreting the results from a clinical standpoint and comparing with the existing BAV clinical literature, including our own work [17] looking at aortic dimensional changes over time, e.g., comparing different valve morphotypes. This was not the purpose of the study, but rather showing the feasibility of comparing sub-groups of interest in a population and get meaningful information regarding differences in disease progression and/or shape variability.…”

“…There was no significant difference in the annual growth rate of the ascending aortic dilatation in asymptomatic BAV patients with R-L and R-N (0.47 mm/year and 0.46 mm/year, respectively; Avadhani et al, 2015 ). The aortic root growth rate was the highest in BAV patients with R-N morphotype and the smallest in BAV patients with type 0 (3.0 mm/year vs. 0.8 mm/year; Sophocleous et al, 2019 ).…”
