Some video clips recently were added to the website. They are short excerpts taken from presentations at the 2008 Conference.

These particular clips contain important information for those seeking to understand more about BAVD and TAAD. Here are links to them.

Anatomy of the Heart and Aorta - Dr. Sharo Raissi

Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Ascending Aortic Aneurysm - Dr. Sharo Raissi

Bicuspid Aortic Valves and Brain Aneurysms - Dr. Wouter Schievink


MRI of the Aortic Valve and Aorta - Dr. Rola Saouaf

Echocardiography of the Heart - De Anne Paul, R.D.C.S

64 Slice CT of the Aorta - Gerald Friede, MS

BAVD TAAD and Genetics, Part One - Cheryl Maslen, PhD

BAVD TAAD and Genetics, Part Two - Cheryl Maslen, PhD

I hope those of you who were with us at the Conference will enjoy reviewing this information again. And for those who have not seen it, I hope that it will increase understanding about the heart, aorta, BAVD, and TAAD, and the various options available that can complement each other when seeking to "see" inside the chest.

The Foundation also has made a Public Service Announcement available via the web. In this PSA, Stacey Grieshop speaks about the loss of her husband, Doug. Please

As we continue to pursue knowledge,
patients and physicians together,
we create a climate of hope.

                                     
Sincerely,

Arlys Velebir
