Dilatation of the Remaining Aorta After Aortic Valve or Aortic Root Replacement in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Valve: A 5-Year Follow-Up Nada Abdulkareem, PhD, Gopal Soppa, MRCS, PhD, Siôn Jones, MRCS, Oswaldo Valencia, MD, Jeremy Smelt, MRCS, Marjan Jahangiri, FRCS (CTh) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 96, Issue 1, Pages (July 2013) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 Details of patient classification based on number of valve cusps associated without (BAV, TAV) or with (AA-BAV, AA-TAV) aortic aneurysm. (AA-BAV = bicuspid aortic valve with aortic aneurysm; AA-TAV = tricuspid aortic valve with aortic aneurysm; ARR = aortic root replacement; Asc. Ao. Rep = [supracoronary] ascending aorta replacement; BAV = bicuspid aortic valve; TAV = tricuspid aortic valve.)

Fig 2 Serial measurements of thoracic aorta preoperatively and up to 5 years after surgical procedure. Figures in the inset of each panel highlight level at which each measurement was taken. (A) Measurements at level of sinus of Valsalva. (B) Measurement of maximum diameter at level of ascending aorta. (C) Measurements at level of midaortic arch distal to the innominate artery. Differences between groups are highlighted. (AA-BAV = bicuspid aortic valve with aortic aneurysm; AA-TAV = tricuspid aortic valve with aortic aneurysm; BAV = bicuspid aortic valve; TAV = tricuspid aortic valve; ** = p ≤ 0.01.)

Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showing no significant difference in the mortality between the different groups. Numbers at bottom indicate patients at risk for each interval. (AA-BAV = bicuspid aortic valve with aortic aneurysm; AA-TAV = tricuspid aortic valve with aortic aneurysm; BAV = bicuspid aortic valve; TAV = tricuspid aortic valve.)
