A bicuspid AV or prolapse of the AV may be seen. The size of the aortic root can be measured and aortic dissections can be identified. The severity of AR can be estimated using three parameters ...

The ascending aorta includes the aortic root and sinuses of Valsalva where the blood supply to your heart, via the coronary arteries, originates. The ascending aorta continues upward to form the ...

The blood pressure may be elevated. A murmur of aortic regurgitation can occur if the aortic root is dilated from the dissection. Neurologic deficits can be seen if the carotid artery is involved ...

Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome region known as 22q11.2 , which involves genes that regulate ...

Mild poststenotic dilatation and increased left atrium/aortic root transverse ratio is noted. Blood flow velocity in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) of the same patient (Figure 3 ...

IV administration: in adults, for angiocardiography (ventriculography, selective coronary arteriography), aortography including studies of the aortic root, aortic arch, ascending aorta ...

Medtronic offers both aortic root cannulae and coronary ostial cannulae. Aortic root cannulae are intended to infuse cardioplegia directly into the aortic root near the aortic valve while coronary ...

Their ‘supra-annular sizing’ algorithm 2 has led to more stable valve deployment and optimized interaction between the prosthesis and the aortic root. “With this new sizing algorithm ...
