Aortic dilation in bicuspid aortic valve disease: flow pattern is a major contributor and differs with valve fusion type.
BACKGROUND: Ascending aortic dilation is important in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease, with increased risk of aortic dissection. We used cardiovascular MR to understand the pathophysiology better by examining the links between 3-dimensional flow abnormalities, aortic function, and aortic dilatio...
