Aims To report aortic root geometry by echocardiography in a large population of healthy,
asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) patients in relation to current vendor-specified …

To evaluate the inter-individual variance and the variability of the aortic root dimensions
during the cardiac cycle by computed tomography (CT) in patients with severe aortic …

The anatomy of the aortic valve and that of the aortic root recently have become very
relevant to the interventional cardiology community due to rapid development of …

Objective: Valve-sparing surgery can be used in patients with dilated aortic roots and aortic
insufficiency (AI) but has not become a common practice, in part because the spared valve …

Materials and methods Using autopsied specimens of normal hearts, the morphology of the
attachment of the leaflets, the interleaflet triangles and the circular ventriculo-arterial junction …

Background Aortic root enlargement (ARE) procedures are believed to allow implantation of
larger valve prostheses; however, little evidence exists to support the specific efficacy of …

Introduction The geometry of the aortic annulus and implanted transcatheter aortic valve
prosthesis might influence valve function. We investigated the influence of valve type and …

BACKGROUND: This study sought to compare cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR)
with dual source computed tomography (DSCT) for analysis of aortic root dimensions prior to …

BACKGROUND: Accurate aortic root measurements and evaluation of spatial relationships
with coronary ostia are crucial in preoperative transcatheter aortic valve implantation …

The aortic root has been shown to be a highly distensible structure. The function of the aortic
valve is intimately related to the expansion of the aortic root, and current nonexpansile stent …
