Abstract

Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart defect occurring in 0.5–2% of adults. It is associated with increased lifetime risk of aortic valve intervention (AVI). Different AVI options include surgical replacement [surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR)], repair, the Ross procedure, and transcatheter replacement [transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)]. This study seeks to evaluate statewide trends in BAV AVI and compare in-hospital outcomes over 11 years period.
