4-D flow MRI aortic 3-D hemodynamics and wall shear stress remain stable over short-term follow-up in pediatric and young adult patients with bicuspid aortic valve

Children with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) are at risk for serious complications including aortic valve stenosis and aortic rupture. Most studies investigating biomarkers predictive of BAV complications are focused on adults. To investigate whether hemodynamic parameters change over time in children and young adults with BAV by comparing baseline and follow-up four-dimensional (4-D) flow MRI examinations. We retrospectively included 19 children...
