www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - Bicuspid aortic valves are one of the most common forms of congenital heart disease. A bicuspid aortic valve with aortic stenosis and/or aortic regurgitation can lead to symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations) and unwanted risks including heart failure and death. As bicuspid aortic valves are often associated with aortic aneurysms (a bulging of the aorta, that can potentially rupture), patients should actively monitor and/or get treatment for bicuspid aortic valves and aortic aneurysms if these cardiac conditions progress in severity. In this video interview with Dr. William Brinkman, a cardiac surgeon and the Director of Thoracic Aorta Clinic at Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital in Plano, Texas, you will learn about biology of bicuspid aortic valve, their association with aortic aneurysm and the different treatment approaches that Dr. Brinkman uses to help patients get healthy. Those treatment options including traditional aortic valve replacement, aortic valve repair, the David Procedure, the Ross Procedure, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
