The objective of this text-atlas is to examine the bicuspid aortic valve syndrome (BAV) holistically. The various chapters deal with epidemiology, morphological spectrum, embryology, associated congenital heart disease, genetics and familiarity, natural history, including clinically relevant valve complications (stenosis, regurgitation, endocarditis) and/or vascular complications affecting the thoracic aorta (dilatation, aneurysm, dissection) that require close clinical follow-up. In addition, multimodal imaging and surgical and transcatheter therapeutic options will be described. To the best of our knowledge, this will be the first illustrated monograph on this topic and will be enriched with numerous original illustrations.Offering in-depth visual representations, clinical insights and comprehensive data, it will provide experts with the tools they need to improve understanding and treatment of this unique heart conition, advancing patient care and research in the field of cardiovascular health.
