The aortopathy of bicuspid aortic valve disease has distinctive patterns and usually involves the transverse aortic arch.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2008; (4): 901-7, 907.e1-2
Bicuspid aortic valves are associated with a poorly characterized connective tissue disorder that predisposes to aortic catastrophes. Because no criterion exists dictating the appropriate extent of aortic resection in aneurysmal disease of the bicuspid aortic valve, we studied the patterns of aortic dilation in this population.
