Case #1 Bicuspid Valve Dilated Aortic Root
Mod AI/Mild AS - RW
RW is a 52 year old male referred for evaluation of ascending aortic aneurysm and bicuspid aortic valve.
Echo and cardiac CTA 8/06 revealed aortic dilation to 5.1cm, moderate aortic insufficiency, and mild aortic stenosis with mean gradient 20mm Hg, AVA 2.1cm2. No evidence of mitral regurgitation. LV EF preserved at 71%. Right heart pressures are normal.
PMH significant for sleep apnea (uses CPAP mask at night), cervical disc disease, bicuspid aortic valve, and hyperlipidemia

Case #3
SP Ross - WJ
11/06 52 year old male status post Ross procedure 5/1997
(Bicuspid valve) Followed by serial echo which has revealed significant ascending
aortic dilation up to 5cm. Confirmed by CT scan. Aortic valve leaflets appeared thin and mobile. Cardiac cath revealed no coronary disease confirmed modest pulmonary stenosis.
Meds: Toprol, Pepcid, ASA Blood pressure 102-120/66 HR 48 Scheduled for Ascending aortic aneurysm repair, assess aortic
root/valve intraoperatively with TEE with further intervention as needed.
SP Ross - WJ
Pre op diagnosis: Status post Ross procedure nine years ago with
presumed dilation of the residual aorta and subsequent autograft with mild insufficiency
Mild pulmonic homograft stenosis Post op diagnosis
1) Dilation primarily of the autograft with minimal dilation of the native ascending aorta.
2) Mild pulmonic homograft stenosis
