Q

three major pathologies of aortic stenosis

A

1) bicuspid = raphe = fusion btwn 2 cusps
2) calcific = restrict movement of valve
3) rheumatic = commissures fused with calcification

Q

how do bicuspid aortic valves form?

A

due to abnromal aortic cusp formation during valvulogenesis –> forms raphe

–> cusps fuse to form bigger cusp (smaller than 2 indiv cusps)

–> COMPLEX DEVELOPMENTAL

Q

after development, what is bicuspid aortic valve associated with?

percutaenous balloon valvuloplaty

54
Q

old treatment for pulmonic valve stenosis

Q

Difference btwn mechanical and bioprosthesis

A

1) mechanical = need warfarin + long lasting

2) in older 70-80 y/o patients because more likely to degenerate
