Indexed Aortic Area in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Aortopathy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to determine the relationship between the cross-sectional aortic area/patient height ratio (indexed aortic area) and absolute aortic diameter in proximal thoracic aortic aneurysms associated with a bicuspid valve. This will shed light on whether aneurysms with smaller diameters than those recommended for surgical intervention by guidelines are still at risk of aortic complications attending an abnormally high indexed aortic area.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Median aortic diameters in aneurysms [Data collection period from 27th January 2017 - 15th May 2017]
As above
- Cross-sectional aortic area/patient height ratio in aneurysms [Data collection period from 27th January 2017 - 15th May 2017]
Calculation of indexed aortic area in aneurysms
- Proportion of aneurysms with cross-sectional aortic area/patient height ratio >10 cm2/m [Data collection period from 27th January 2017 - 15th May 2017]
Proportion of aneurysms with an abnormal indexed aortic area
- Median cross-sectional aortic area/patient height ratio for aneurysms with diameter <4.0 cm, 4.0-4.5 cm, 4.5-5.0 cm, 5.0-5.5 cm and >5.5 cm [Data collection period from 27th January 2017 - 15th May 2017]
- Median aortic diameter corresponding to aneurysms with IAA >10 cm2/m [Data collection period from 27th January 2017 - 15th May 2017]
