Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Genetic defects associated with bicuspid aortopathy have been infrequently analysed. Our goal was to examine the prevalence of rare genetic variants in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with a root phenotype using next-generation sequencing technology. METHODS: We investigated a total of 124 patients with BAV with a root dilatation phenotype who underwent aortic valve ± proximal aortic...
