If bicuspid valves are replaced and if aortic stenosis pressures are relieved(if only temporarily stretched that is) by valvuloplasty then why is there still a risk of aneurysm with blood flow being normal or near normal..the connective tissue argument then sounds quite likely...interesting...I look forward to reading more of your findings in the future..I am going to bring this up with my sons cardiologist in April.
