To explore the clinical and echocardiographical features of different types of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV).
Methods:
Echocardiographic and clinical data of 66 BAV cases who admitted to East Hospital
Tongji University
from January 2010 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results:
The age of 66 cases of BAV ranged 8 to 91 years. The mean age of males (40 cases) was (45.4617.49) years and of females (26 cases) was (44.9318.88) years. There was no significant difference in age between males and females (
P
0.05). There were 42 cases complicated with aortic stenosis (AS) and 12 cases with aortic regurgitation (AR). Statistical analysis showed that the cases complicated with AR were younger than those with AS (
P
0.05). There were 46 cases with R-L type (69.7%)
17 cases with R-N type (25.8%)
and 3 cases with L-N type (4.5%). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of AS
AR and enlarged ascending aorta among different types of BAV (
P
0.05).
Conclusion:
There is no significant difference in age between male and female BAV cases. The BAV cases complicated with AR are younger than those with AS. There is no significant difference in the occurrence of AS
AR and enlarged ascending aorta among different types of BAV.
