Abstract: (348 Views)
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac anomaly, with a prevalence of approximately 0.8% in the general population and it is predominant in males. BAV may be complicated by aortic valvular stenosis or regurgitation and is also associated with aortic wall abnormalities such as dilation, coarctation, dissection, and aneurysm. Studies before the COVID-19 pandemics did not show any abdominal aorta dilation in patients with BAV. Reports about aortic wall injury during the pandemics, and lack of investigations on the Iranian population led to conduction this study.
This cross-sectional case-control study included 49 children with BAV, aged 5 to 16 years, who were referred to the cardiology clinic of Children's Medical Center in Tehran, 2023. The control group consisted of 49 age-, sex-, and weight-matched children who presented with cardiovascular complaints but had normal echocardiographic findings. Abdominal aortic diameters were measured and compared at three levels between two groups.
No significant differences were observed in abdominal aortic diameters at three level between the two groups (p = 0.34, p =0.49 and p =0.79 respectively).
Based on our results, there is no evidence to recommendation of routine abdominal aortic measurement during the follow-up of children with BAV.
