There are two primary diseases that can occur with the aortic valve: aortic stenosis and aortic insufficiency (also known as aortic regurgitation). Learn to understand and recognize the causes, ...

Aim: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital cardiac condition. The presence of BAV in non-elite athletes has been poorly investigated; it is usually asymptomatic until valvular stenosis, ...

In that surgery, called transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR, cardiologists insert a replacement valve through a patient’s groin and thread it all the way to the heart.

Not all patients with bicuspid aortic valves behave similarly. Some patients have early valve dysfunction and require intervention in infancy or childhood. More commonly, bicuspid valves degenerate ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart condition. It can cause a number of symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and more.

There are three different types of bicuspid aortic valves, ranging from types 0 to 2. The type depends on whether the leaflets of the valve have fused to form a ridge.

Abstract Balloon rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rare but serious complication. Here, we present two cases of balloon rupture in patients with severe aortic stenosis ...
