Prognosis of Unrepaired Ascending Aorta after the Surgical Replacement of Bicuspid Aortic Valves.
Hong Ju ShinWan Kee KimDong Kyu KimHo Jin KimJoon Bum KimPublished in: Journal of chest surgery (2023)
In selected patients undergoing SAVR for a BAV (<55 mm), the risk of adverse aortic events was very low. As this observation contradicts current practice guidelines advocating for proactive aortic replacement in dilated ascending aortas measuring >45 mm, the study results need further validation by studies involving larger populations or randomized controlled trials.
