Patients with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis who undergo SAVR do as well as those with tricuspid valves, with a lower rate of risk-adjusted long-term death, according to a new analysis from the ...

Genetic variants linked to a rare form of bicuspid aortic valve disease that affects young adults and can lead to dangerous and potentially life-threatening aortic complications have been identified ...
