I, AAo (regions 1–4), Arch (5,6), DAo
(7–10) indicate where peak velocities were quantified. Separated ROIs
(1–10 indicate where WSS was quantified.
I, a) RL BAV compared to the a) entire fUAV
cohort; II, fUAV stenosis subgroup comparison.
(*) represents significant differences compared to the RL BAV group.
(#) represents subgroup differences. Note the increased WSS in the AAo
and arch in all fUAV fusion and stenosis subgroups in comparison to the RL BAV
patients. III,IV top: valve morphology (dotted
lines represent fusion), middle: systolic streamlines, bottom: velocity MIPs.
While III and IV both show eccentric valve orifices and outflow jets accompanied
by complex deranged flow, the MIPs show much higher velocity outflow jets in the
RL/RN fUAV patient with severe AS compared to the RL BAV patient with no AS.
