Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is one the most common cardiac defect. The progression of the defect can vary with the time and may lead to ventricular dysfunction, heart failure and death of the patient. In this work we proposed a method to obtain several hemodynamics parameters including WSS, OSI, vorticity, helicity density, viscous dissipation, energy loss and kinetic energy from 4D-flow data sets of BAV patients and healthy volunteers using a finite-element approach. We found that the viscous dissipation, helicity density, vorticity, WSS and energy loss are the most relevant hemodynamics parameters in the ascending aorta of those patients.
