BAV patients with aortic valve stenosis and concomitant mild-to-moderate ascending aortic dilation are at a considerably low risk of adverse aortic events at 15 years after an isolated AVR. The BAV phenotype should be considered when determining the risk of subsequent adverse aortic events and the need for concomitant aortic replacement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
