Coronary Artery Variants and Anomalies in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Valve.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of variants and anomalies of the coronary arteries in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and compare it with patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV).

Materials And Methods: A total of 428 patients (193 with BAV, 235 with TAV) who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography were analyzed.

Results: The right coronary artery was dominant in 360 (84.

Aortic pathology in patients with bicuspid aortic valve assessed with computed tomography angiography.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess thoracic aorta pathologies coexisting with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) using dual-source computed tomography.

Materials And Methods: A total of 102 patients with BAV diagnosed by electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography angiography of the thoracic aorta were analyzed retrospectively. The morphology of BAV was characterized on the basis of the presence and orientation of cusps and raphes as "pure BAV" (i.
