Eccentric Enlargement of the Aortic Sinuses in Pediatric and Adult Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valves: A Cardiac MRI Study

Aortic root size and cusp fusion pattern have been related to disease outcomes in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). This study seeks to characterize symmetry of the aortic sinuses in adult and pediatric BAV patients and its relationship to valvulopathy and root aortopathy. Aortic sinus-to-commissure (S-C...

description Aortic root size and cusp fusion pattern have been related to disease outcomes in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). This study seeks to characterize symmetry of the aortic sinuses in adult and pediatric BAV patients and its relationship to valvulopathy and root aortopathy. Aortic sinus-to-commissure (S-C) lengths were measured on cardiac MRI of adult and pediatric BAV patients with right-and-left coronary (RL) or right-and-non-coronary (RN) leaflet fusion and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) controls. Coefficient of variance (CoV) of S-C lengths was calculated to quantify sinus asymmetry, or eccentricity. BAV cohort included 149 adults (48 ± 15 years) and 51 children (15 ± 5 years). TAV cohort included 40 adults (60 ± 13 years) and 20 children (15 ± 5 years). In adult and pediatric BAV patients, the non-fused aortic sinus was larger than either fused sinus. In RL fusion, the non-coronary S-C distance was larger than right or left S-C distances in adults ( n  = 121, p
