Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To comprehensively explore contemporary differences between bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) patients with chronic haemodynamically significant aortic regurgitation (AR). METHODS: Consecutive patients with chronic ?moderate-severe AR from a tertiary referral centre (2006-2017) were included. All-cause mortality, surgical indications and aortic valve surgery (AVS) were analysed. RESULTS: ; similar thresholds were observed for BAV-AR patients. CONCLUSION: seem appropriate referral thresholds.
