Supports detailed aortic root anatomy for valve-sparing repair; leaves open translation to improved outcomes.
Detailed anatomical knowledge of the aortic root and its components is crucial for successful and long-lasting aortic valve repair.
Paulis et al. (2019) conducted a review in Aortic valve repair. Surgical anatomy of the aortic root was evaluated. A deep understanding of the surgical anatomy of the aortic root, including the sino-tubular junction, ventriculo-aortic junction, and virtual basal ring, is essential for successful aortic valve repair.
