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

Abstract: Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is associated with increased risk of aortopathy. In addition to current intervention guidelines, BAV mediated changes in aortic 3D hemodynamics have been considered as risk stratification measures. We aimed to evaluate the association of 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) derived voxel-wise aortic reverse flow with aortic dilation and to investigate the role of aortic valve regurgitation (AR) and stenosis (AS) on reverse flow in systol… Show more

“…Such backward flow, which starts during late systole and persists until late diastole, has been attributed to the local reversal of pressure gradients [41] , [42] , inducing a local reversal in blood flow, captured by the velocity sign on either 2D or 4D phase contrast CMR images. Flow reversal patterns are mostly located in the curved segments of the aorta [40] , which is in line with the higher convective relative pressures observed in the external part of such segments [18] and with cross-sectional changes in aortic pressure gradients found in our study.…”

“…Of note, WSS and vorticity values obtained in our population are in the same range as values provided in the above-mentioned WSS [32] , [37] , [38] and vorticity [12] studies. One might highlight however that changes in flow patterns in the thoracic aorta have been widely described through the quantitative evaluation of backward flow from 2D phase-contrast MRI [39] and more recently from 4D flow CMR [40] . Such backward flow, which starts during late systole and persists until late diastole, has been attributed to the local reversal of pressure gradients [41] , [42] , inducing a local reversal in blood flow, captured by the velocity sign on either 2D or 4D phase contrast CMR images.…”

“…Several studies investigating AO root dilatation have already studied systolic FD. 17 , 29 , 30 Not only is FD associated with AO dilatation, but it can also predict further dilatation at 1-year follow-up, 18 and is significantly linked to LV remodelling in patients with AO stenosis. 31 Similar observations were made by Albarran et al in pre-clinical pig models.…”
