Aortic valve repairValve-preserving root replacementSince the introduction of valve-preserving root replacement and aortic annuloplasty, precise understanding of the aortic root anatomy has emerged as a key to successful aortic valve-preservation surgery. Fundamentally, surgeons need to know the precise ...
scope and superiority of this structure—far better than any man-made replacement—that has led to the development of reparative, or ‘sparing’, surgical techniques that respect the functional and anatomical existence of the individual parts of the aortic root (9-12). For the ...
Discover the structure, key features, and function of the aortic root, a vital part of the human body.
herein we will focus more on the aortic root anatomy, as it pertains to aortic valve replacement and annular and LVOT enlargements, where no further emphasis is placed on the function and anatomy of the aortic valve leaflets

Blood with carbon dioxide waste returns to the heart through the veins. The aortic valve is one of the four heart valves. It is also called aortic semilunar due to its semilunar shape and is between the left ventricle and the aorta with the function of ensuring that oxygen-rich blood does...
The geometry of the heart changes as well, due to decreasing base-to-apex dimension, rightward shift and dilatation of the aortic root, and left atrial dilatation. The aortic and mitral valves thicken and become fibrotic along their appositional surfaces, and their annuli are the sites of ...
The pulse is usually felt just inside the wrist below the thumb by placing two or three fingers lightly upon the radial artery. The examiner's thumb is never used to take a pulse because its own pulse is likely to be confused with that of the patient. Pressure should be light; if the...
the mitral valve is located posterior and to the left, the tricuspid valve is located inferiorly and to the right, and both the valves abut on the posteroinferior margins of the aortic root, albeit with the atrioventricular separating structures interposing between the root and the tricuspid valve...
Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate the sex-specific aortic root anatomy in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Patients and methods This retrospective study includes 73 consecutive patients with BAV who underwent CT evaluation before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)...
