Bicuspid Valve Aortopathy: Is It Reasonable to Define a Different Surgical Cutoff Based on Different Aortic Wall Mechanical Properties Compared to Those of the Tricuspid Valve?
BAV aortopathy is not correlated with impaired mechanical properties of the aortic wall as such. Different surgical cutoff points for BAV aortopathy, therefore, seem to be unjustified. An age of >66 and a maximum aortic dilatation of >52 mm, however, seem to significantly influence the mechanical properties of the aortic wall in both groups. These findings, therefore, could suggest the need for more accurate monitoring and evaluation in such conditions.
