This study aims to identify the molecular genetic causes of the variability in development of calcific aortic valve disease in bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves and their associated aortic dilation.
The main purpose of this study is to define the complex genetic and pathogenic basis of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and other forms of aortopathy and/or aortic valve disease by identifying novel disease-causing genes and by identifying important genetic modifiers for aortic and aortic valve disease severity.
Disease of the aortic heart valve is both common and progressively disabling, with no effective medical treatment. In November 2011, the United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) approved a new, less invasive transcatheter alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). This new technology has changed the treatment of patients with aortic valve disease. In doing so, it has created a pressing clinical need for shared decision making tools that will help patients understand the risks and benefits of each treatment alternative in the setting of their individual characteristics. The overarching goal of this study is to develop a new way to approach the treatment of medical illness, by focusing on the expected treatment outcomes for individual patients using information collected from large groups of patients. The corner-stone of this model is a public website that is designed to engage patients and clinicians in a personalized discussion of treatment alternatives. To achieve this goal for patients with aortic valve disease, we will use existing clinical data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) national procedural registries that has been linked to Medicare claims for patient follow-up to 1) evaluate important health outcomes with surgical versus transcatheter AVR among patients who would be eligible for surgical AVR, and 2) create and evaluate personalized decision assistance tools for all patients considering AVR. This work will be accomplished in direct partnership with both patients and caregivers as well as a diverse group of stakeholders who will help ensure its usefulness and dissemination.
Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart malformation in adults, but very little is known about the genetic causes or risk factors for adverse outcomes. Currently, it is estimated that most cases of aortic stenosis in patients less than 65 years old are caused by BAVs. BAV patients are also at high risk to develop aneurysms of the ascending aorta, which may lead to aortic dissections. Dr. Prakash and his colleagues plan to use individual genetic information to identify persons with BAV who are at high risk for complications and to customize therapies.
BAVgenetics is a partnership between Investigators at Boston University, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital dedicated to discovering the genetic causes of bicuspid aortic valve disease and associated aortic disease.

This is a prospective, randomized study that is studying the rate of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion rates after planned heart (cardiac) surgery. The study will be conducted at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Cardioplegia refers to the method of stopping (arresting) the heart in order to perform heart surgery. However, cardioplegia has also come to refer to the solution to achieve cardiac arrest as well as the machinery in which to deliver the solution. This study will investigate our current Standard Cardioplegia (diluted 4:1 blood cardioplegia) versus Microplegia (undiluted blood cardioplegia) to determine if Microplegia reduces peri-operative blood transfusion rates as compared to Standard Cardioplegia. All forms of cardioplegia will be delivered using the MPS2 Microplegia delivery machine by Quest Medical, Inc. Patients will be randomized to receive undiluted microplegia or standard 4:1 cardioplegia. The patient and the surgeon will be blinded to the randomization. Patients will be followed for 30 days post-operatively (or until their initial standard of care post-operative follow up visit with cardiac surgery if that appointment falls outside of the 30 day post-operative window) for the development of any adverse events as well as documentation of blood products given. We will draw one tube of blood for troponin levels at four time points; 1 draw before surgery (this may be done during the intraoperative period), and 3 draws post-operatively: ICU arrival, 12 hours post-ICU arrival and 24 hours post-ICU arrival. This is to closely monitor the patient for any heart tissue injury.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) disease is a common cardiac anomaly that is associated with valvular abnormalities, both stenosis and regurgitation, and aortopathy. It is also shown to play role in abnormal aortic distensibility and stiffness with impairment of aortic elasticity and Left ventricular dysfunction. Mechanism of aortopathy is complex and is not understood completely. In a recent study podocan is found in extracellular matrix (ECM) of human aorta and is found to be accumulated in human abdominal aortic aneurysms. There is no current effective therapy that can alter the progression of aortic dilatation in bicuspid valve disease. Aortic surgery and aortoplasty is the only treatment in severely dilated aorta and aortic dissection. In this study the aim is to investigate the association between podocan and Wnt pathway in development and pathogenesis of aortopathy. This could provide more effective and physiological understanding of disease process and potential target in prevention and treatment for aortopathy.

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of a new Cardiac Vascular Reconstruction (CAVAREC, Siemens Medical Systems, Germany) image reconstruction algorithm for use during transcatheter aortic valve implant (TAVI) procedures or interventional procedures to treat congenital or structural heart disease. CAVAREC utilizes the same x-ray projection images as currently acquired for clinical DynaCT. X-ray image acquisition to allow CAVAREC will occur during the interventional procedure after the TAVI device, other valve, or stent is implanted. If the participants already have a surgically-implanted TAVI device, stent or other device, and are having a cardiac catheterization, then an extra set of images will be acquired after your clinical care is complete, but before you leave the procedure room. The CAVAREC image processing algorithm will be implemented on an off-line workstation after the interventional procedure is complete. After the TAVI procedure, CAVAREC images will be quantitatively and qualitatively compared to Siemens DynaCT and cardiac CT images from Radiology. The results of this study will be used to direct further development of CAVAREC toward the end goal of providing improved imaging capabilities to guide TAVI, congenital heart, or structural heart treatment procedures.
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is the most frequent congenital cardiac malformation, occurring in 0.5-1.2% of the US population. In young adults, it is generally a benign abnormality; but in older adults it is associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection in 20-30% of those with BAV. BAV is strongly associated with early development of aortic valve calcification or incompetence in \>50% of BAV patients, and accounts for \~40% of the \>30,000 aortic valve replacements (AVR) performed in the US each year. Yet, we know little of the etiology, cellular events and modifiers of progression of BAV to calcific aortic valve disease and we still do not understand the genetic cause(s) of BAV despite evidence for its high heritability. The Specific Aims of this study are: 1. To identify the genetic causes of bicuspid aortic valve disease and its associated thoracic aortic disease. 2. To identify potential pathways to predict the clinical course of BAV disease and for treating human BAV disease. To achieve these aims, we have created the International Bicuspid Aortic Valve Consortium (BAVCon), a consortium of institutions with cohorts of BAV patients and the expertise to fulfill the performance of these aims.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety of patients who underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Intervention (TAVI) during a live case or video-taped transmission as compared to those without procedure transmission.
