Bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy is characterized by embryonic epithelial to mesenchymal transition and endothelial instability
10 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart malformation frequently associated with ascending aortic aneurysm (AscAA). Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) may play a role in BAV-associated AscAA. The aim of the study was to investigate the type of EMT associated with BAV aortopathy using patients with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) as a reference. The state of the endothelium was...
