Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study examines the potential links between bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) subtype, aortic root shape, and mechanical properties in a patient cohort. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 88 patients with BAV undergoing transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Aortic dimensions and shapes were assessed in all participants, while mechanical properties (aortic strain, distensibility, and stiffness) were...
