Indexed Aortic Area in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Aortopathy

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2017
This study aims to determine the relationship between the cross-sectional aortic area/patient height ratio (indexed aortic area) and absolute aortic diameter in proximal thoracic aortic aneurysms associated with a bicuspid valve. This will shed light on whether aneurysms with smaller diameters than those recommended for surgical intervention by guidelines are still at risk of aortic complications attending an abnormally high indexed aortic area.
