Implication

Aortic annular dimensions vary in cadaveric hearts; leaves open applicability to living patients and device sizing.

Structured PICO

Population

100 healthy fixed human hearts, 84% male, 61% Caucasian, age ranging from 9 to 86 years (mean 30 +/- 15.5 years).

Outcome

Anatomical characteristics of the aortic valve including number and height of cusps, size of lunulae, intercommissural distance, position of coronary ostium, position of ventricular septum, and thickness of cuspssurrogate

The aortic valve annulus is not a perfect circumference and exhibits anatomical variations in measurements, cusps, and its relationship with the ventricular septum.
