Svensson et al. (2023) conducted an editorial in Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with aortopathy (n=875). Prophylactic aortic surgery vs. Surveillance was evaluated on Incidence of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAD) and surgical mortality. In bicuspid aortic valve patients with an ascending aorta of 5 to 5.4 cm, the incidence of aortic dissection is low and similar to surgical mortality, suggesting clinical equivalence.
