Visualization of flow in the ascending aorta: bicuspid aortic valves compared to tricuspid aortic valves

Methods Our prospective matched-pair study included 18 patients (median age 25 years, range 8 - 44 years) with a native bicuspid aortic valve and normal diameters of the ascending aorta, without stenosis or insufficiency of the aortic valve and no coarctation of the aorta. According to a predefined...

Description
Summary:Methods Our prospective matched-pair study included 18 patients (median age 25 years, range 8 - 44 years) with a native bicuspid aortic valve and normal diameters of the ascending aorta, without stenosis or insufficiency of the aortic valve and no coarctation of the aorta. According to a predefined classification, the helical flow patterns were graded.
