Abstract
The treatment of mild-to-moderate aortic dilatation at the time of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is still controversial. We aimed to estimate late progression of aortopathy in patients who underwent isolated AVR for BAV stenosis with concomitant proximal aortic dilatation of ≥40 mm. The review of our institutional BAV database ( n = 510) revealed a subgroup of 96 consecutive BAV patients (57...
