Why the study?
The study was conducted to identify new anatomical landmarks of the aortic root and relationships between structure sizes via computed tomography angiography to improve heart valve models and selection methods.
Population
262 patients prior to aortic valve replacement

Type C predominance supports aortic root modeling in stenosis; leaves open effects on prosthesis selection.
A proposed classification of aortic root structure variants based on CT angiography identifies Type C as the predominant anatomy in patients with aortic valve stenosis, which may aid in heart valve modeling and selection.
