Effect of Bicuspid or Tricuspid Aortic Valve on Preoperative Coagulation in Patients Scheduled for Thoracic Aortic Surgery
Patients with a BAV have similar preoperative coagulation profiles and postoperative outcomes as TAV patients, based on ROTEM and conventional coagulation tests. While TAV patients required more RBC and platelet transfusions, this is likely due to factors other than valve type. These findings suggest that BAV patients do not need altered coagulation management despite structural differences and endothelial dysfunction.
