Background: The true incidence of bicuspid valve-related aortic dissection (AD) is extremely difficult to ascertain. This review aimed to provide the reported cumulative incidence of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-related AD in actively monitored study populations.

Methods: Four electronic databases were used to perform literature searches. A meta-analysis of proportions or means were performed for categorical and continuous variables, as appropriate. Survival data was calculated from the aggregation of Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves from the included studies, where reported.

Results: A total of 4,330 patients were identified in eleven studies. A cumulative incidence of bicuspid valve-related AD of 0.6% across a median follow-up time of 9 years was identified. Actuarial survival across this monitored population at 1, 3, 5 and 10 years was 97.2%, 96.7%, 92.45%, and 81.1%, respectively.

Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis identified a low incidence of AD across the examined follow-up period. Large, prospective studies involving early identification of bicuspid valve pathology, recruitment, and follow-up of BAV cohorts with comparison to the baseline population are required to most accurately determine the outcomes of these patients.

Background:  This study evaluated the midterm outcomes of rapid deployment aortic valve replacement (RDAVR) performed regardless of pathology for various aortic valve diseases at a single center.

Methods:  Of the 344 patients who underwent RDAVR using Edwards INTUITY during the study period at our institution, 176 had bicuspid valve diseases (51.2%), 20 had pure aortic regurgitation (5.

Objectives: To longitudinally follow up a cohort of patients with autotransplanted teeth, assessing how the timing of starting orthodontic treatment impacts root length.

Materials And Methods: Patients under 18 with at least one open-apex autotransplanted premolar (AP) replaced to a central incisor position were included. Root/crown ratio (RCR) was calculated on periapical radiographs taken at intervals of 3-6 months after transplantation.

Background: Valve-sparing root replacement(VSRR) with the David technique is an established therapy for aortic root pathology in young patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate short and long-term outcomes between VSRR and aortic root replacement(ARR) with a biological-valved conduit in sexagenarians.

Methods: A multicenter retrospective review from 2002-2022 identified 299-sexagenarians undergoing aortic root surgery, among whom 82(27.

Background: Lifetime treatment of aortic valve disease is a matter of increasing debate. Although the risks of a second aortic valve intervention are recognized, little attention has been given to the challenges of a third.

Objectives: This study delves into the clinical characteristics, indications, and outcomes of patients undergoing 3 aortic valve interventions.
