Aortic Valve, Bicuspid
Conditions
Brief summary
The aortic valve bicuspidia (BVA) is a congenital condition corresponding to the presence of 2 sigmoids instead of 3. This is the most common cardiac congenital anomaly affecting 0.5 to 2% of the population The general rule. BVA may be associated with structural damage to the ascending aorta, which exposes BVA patients to a risk of developing ascending aortic aneurysm and acute aortic accidents. Recent data from the literature have revealed that the natural history of BVA is marked by a possible development towards significant valvulopathy and / or an ascending aortic aneurysm often requiring surgical treatment. However, the natural history of bicuspid disease remains poorly understood and the prognostic factors for progression to severe valvulopathy and / or aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending aorta remain to be determined.
