Patients with severe aortic stenosis and predominantly noncalcific remodeling of the aortic valve (AV) were found to have worse myocardial structural alterations when evaluated for TAVR using cardiac computed tomography angiogram (CTA) and this is associated with increased myocardial fibrosis or worse filling pressures.

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital cardiac anomaly, predisposes individuals to aortic stenosis and regurgitation due to valve degeneration. In the sixth postoperative year, she was readmitted due to ascending aorta rupture, resulting in blood entering the right atrium and causing acute right heart failure.
