Along with the specialists who care for them, those affected by thoracic aortic disease find themselves on a road less traveled, less understood by others. We can enrich each other as we share the journey together. Together we are stronger. Together we can press for proactive screening, excellence in care, greater understanding, medical and surgical advances, and more research. These are the things that transform our present and hold the promise of our future.

Aortic disease knows no boundaries. The Bicuspid Aortic Foundation is international in its perspective, focused on the interests of patients, families, and medical professionals across the globe. Whether newly diagnosed, living with complex heart valve issues or an aortic aneurysm, or facing surgery, patients and families often require additional information.

Medical professionals concerned with the treatment of aortic disease in the chest may benefit from the work of the Foundation's Medical Advisory Board.

Making a Difference Together
If you are wondering what the BAF Annual Conference might be like, the video clips above will give you an idea. They are short clips of topic presentations by medical professionals from last year's Conference. Clicking on the link in the upper left corner of this page will take you to additional Conference video describing life with BAVD/TAAD.

We are meeting at the California Yacht Club, a beautiful and tranquil setting where there is nothing to remind us of doctors' offices and hospitals!

Networking together there with the professionals who care for those with aortic disease is an important fulfillment of our mission - creating a climate of hope.

A detailed agenda will be published soon. We hope you, your family, and your friends will join us.
