Dilatation of the Remaining Aorta After Aortic Valve or Aortic Root Replacement in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Valve: A 5-Year Follow-Up

No significant dilatation of the AA or arch was observed after AVR or ARR, respectively, in patients when a cut-off diameter of 4.5 cm or greater was considered for replacement in patients with BAV compared with patients with TAV up to 5 years after operation. The need for aortic replacement at smaller diameters was not found.
