Abstract

Objective: The paradigm of a diameter depending risk for acute type-A-aortic dissection and aneurysm rupture in pts with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-the most common congenital cardiovascular abnormality-has been shattered by recent reports (of acute type A in BAV with larger diameters than TAV). To reveal high risk areas for dissection entry, we correlated typical 4D-flow patterns of BAV pts with morphologic phenotype and microscopic analysis to detect subclinical inflammation and calcification.
