AI Article Synopsis
- - The International Consensus Classification outlines three types of congenital bicuspid aortic valves: fused type, 2-sinus type, and partial-fusion type, each with specific characteristics and phenotypes.
- - Important features for the fused type include the presence of raphe and the symmetry among different phenotypes, which help in accurate classification.
- - Additionally, the Consensus identifies three categories of aortopathy associated with bicuspid valves: ascending phenotype, root phenotype, and extended phenotypes.
Article Abstract
This International Consensus Classification and Nomenclature for the congenital bicuspid aortic valve condition recognizes 3 types of bicuspid valves: 1. The fused type (right-left cusp fusion, right-non-coronary cusp fusion and left-non-coronary cusp fusion phenotypes); 2. The 2-sinus type (latero-lateral and antero-posterior phenotypes); and 3. The partial-fusion (forme fruste) type. The presence of raphe and the symmetry of the fused type phenotypes are critical aspects to describe. The International Consensus also recognizes 3 types of bicuspid valve-associated aortopathy: 1. The ascending phenotype; 2. The root phenotype; and 3. Extended phenotypes.
