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.

Conditions

• Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
• Bicuspid Cardiac Valve

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Aortic surgery +/- aortic valve replacement	Replacement of aneurysmal proximal thoracic aorta +/- replacement of diseased bicuspid aortic valve
