Meanings of aortic annulus in English

Background: The correct management of the small aortic annulus is still controversial.

One patient was considered ineligible for TAVI because of large aortic annulus diameter.

Conclusion: Our study highlights the usefulness of software-assisted preprocedural assessment of the aortic annulus in patients considered for TAVI.

Although the remodeling technique is recognized as the most physiological valve-sparing procedure, aortic annulus dilation may jeopardize its results.

A simplified technique has been used to enlarge the aortic annulus in a series of 13 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement.

Multidetector computed tomography-based aortic annulus size consisted of the perimeter-derived diameter, which was divided by body surface area to produce an indexed annulus size.

The dissection was located 3.9 ±1.4 cm proximally from the aortic annulus, with a length of 4.6 ± 0.9 cm.
