Differences in Severity and Prognosis Between Bicuspid and Tricuspid Severe Aortic Stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) often leads to aortic stenosis (AS). However, current severity assessment and treatment strategies do not differentiate between BAV and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) patients.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in echocardiographic indices used to evaluate disease severity and to compare long-term outcomes between BAV and TAV.

Methods

We performed a post hoc analysis of 3,815 patients with severe AS enrolled in the CURRENT AS (Contemporary outcomes after sURgery and medical tREatmeNT in patients with severe Aortic Stenosis) registry. Echocardiographic parameters and clinical outcomes were compared between patients with BAV and those with TAV. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Sensitivity
