Clinical Problem
• Burden of surgery for BAV patients in the USA exceeds 1 billion dollars per year
• Frequency of aortic interventions has doubled over the past decade
• There is limited scientific evidence for the timing and extent of these prophylactic interventions
Opotowsky et al, JTCVS 2013; 146:339-46
Uncertainty of Clinical Guidelines for BAV Aortopathy
Hardikar & Marwick, Int J Cardiol 2015; 199:150-3
1998 2014
• 52% believed genetics, 2% believed valve hemodynamics
• 61% believed in resection at 45mm at time of AVR
• 33% performed resection at <45mm at time of AVR

Is progression of BAV aortopathy
predictable for individual patients?

Tricuspid AV (TAV)
(No valve dysfunction)
Bicuspid AV (BAV)
(No valve dysfunction)
BAV without dysfunction has
significant flow eccentricity
