Key result
Type I bicuspid aortic valve orientation was associated with significantly larger aortic annulus and ascending root dimensions compared to Type II orientation (P < 0.05).
Why the study?
Does Type I BAV morphology associate with larger aortic root dimensions compared to Type II BAV morphology in patients with mild to moderate aortic stenosis?
Observational (n=89)
Yes
Does Type I BAV morphology associate with larger aortic root dimensions compared to Type II BAV morphology in patients with mild to moderate aortic stenosis?
p-value: p=< 0.05
In patients with mild to moderate aortic stenosis due to a bicuspid aortic valve, Type I leaflet orientation is associated with significantly greater aortic root dimensions compared to Type II.

May inform tailored root surveillance in mild-moderate BAV-AS; leaves open progression risk and management implications.
Jassal et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Mild to moderate aortic stenosis due to a bicuspid aortic valve (n=89). Type I bicuspid aortic valve orientation vs. Type II bicuspid aortic valve orientation was evaluated on Aortic root measurements (aortic annulus and ascending root dimensions) (p=< 0.05). Type I bicuspid aortic valve orientation was associated with significantly larger aortic annulus and ascending root dimensions compared to Type II orientation (P < 0.05).
