The purpose of this study is to use magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to evaluate the relationship between different patterns of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) fusion and aortic arch morphologies, as characterized by the carotid-subclavian artery (CSA) index -of the aortic diameter at the left subcl
In a large series of 216 consecutive patients CMR could noninvasively differentiate various types of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) morphology. BAV type was related to the frequency of stenosis but not to the frequency of aortic dilatation.
## ~~ Congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is one of the most frequent heart defects detected by echocardiographic investigation and necropsy (0.!3-1% of the general population), but only 16 families with familial congenital BAV have been described up to now. We report on a family in which 4 mem
