In this study, a methodology is presented that enables
identification of abnormal WSS, estimated by 4D flow
MRI, in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) by
comparison with a cohort-averaged 3D WSS map of healthy
controls. 11 BAV patients were compared with a
mean1.96*standard deviation WSS map created from data
of 10 controls. In the BAV patients, elevated WSS was
predominantly found in the inner (8%) and outer
ascending aorta surface (21%) and outer arch surface
(16%). Moderate correlations were found between the
significant surface area and aortic diameter (R2 of 0.8,
0.5 and 0.4, respectively).
