Popis: To characterize the anatomy of aorto-iliofemoral arterial tree according to aortic valve phenotype by CT in patients referred for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We retrospectively enrolled 215 patients screened for TAVR who underwent CT. Dimensions, calcification, vascular tortuosity index score and other putative risk features of 13 different regions were evaluated for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) morphology. The study consisted of 44% BAVs with younger age than TAVs. The dimensions of the annulus, sinus of Valsalva, ascending aorta and aortic arch were consistently larger in BAVs. The prevalence of calcification of aortic arch was significantly higher in TAVs even after adjustment for atherosclerotic risk factors. BAVs was associated with two-fold higher odds of having over I degree AA calcification (odds ratio 2.02; 95% CI 1.60–5.31; p
