1 Anatomy of the Aortic Valve and Root - A (Pediatric) Cardiac Surgeon s View Markus K. Heinemann Klinik für Herz-, Thorax- und Gefäßchirurgie Universitätsmedizin Mainz

2 X X X X X X X X 2?

3 Conflicts of Interest (?) I am a surgeon for congenital heart disease by training. Pediatric cardiac surgeons tend to be peculiar. Their views may be somewhat idiosyncratic. Fortunately, I have also done research and published on aortic dissection. So it might be worth staying in the room after all. Don t say you haven t been warned!

4 What exactly is the aortic root? Wikipedia (what else?): The aortic root is the portion of the aorta beginning at the aortic annulus and extending to the sinotubular junction. It is sometimes regarded as a separate entity from the rest of the ascending aorta. Between each commissure of the aortic valve and opposite the cusps of the aortic valve, three small dilatations are called the aortic sinuses. The sinotubular junction is the point in the ascending aorta where the aortic sinuses end and the aorta becomes a tubular structure.

5 What shall we focus on, then? Anulus (the enigma) Cusps (aka Leaflets ) Sinus (yes, that s the plural) Coronaries (lest we forget) Ascending Aorta (where the root ends)

6 Anulus Latin: anulus, pl.: anuli = small ring Why we should have an annulus, but simply an anus nobody knows. A: complex, 3-dimensional, crown-shaped structure (surgical) B: diameter at base of aortic root ( unanatomical, reference measure) from: Pershad A, Stone D, Morris MF, Fang K, Gellert G Aortic annulus measurement and relevance to successful TAVR J Interv Cardiol Jun;26(3):302-9.

7 Anulus some harsh words Descriptions of the aortic root over the years have been BEDEVILED by accounts of a valve anulus. There are at least 2 RINGS within the root we describe the current problems which have arisen due to INDISCRIMINATE descriptions of a NONEXISTENT anulus. Loukas M, Bilinsky E, Bilinsky S, Blaak C, Tubbs RS, Anderson RH. The anatomy of the aortic root. Clinical Anatomy 2014;27:748-56

8 Anular Enlargement Classic Surgery (AVR) To prevent patient-prosthesis mismatch Simple and efficient The incision is directed toward the mid-mitral line (an imaginary line that divides the anterior leaflet into two equal halves), down to the level where the roof of the left atrium is attached to the fibrous curtain. A teardrop-shaped pericardial patch is sutured to this extended aortotomy with a continuous 4-0 polypropylene suture. Sommers KE, David TE. AVR with patch enlargement of the aortic annulus. Ann Thor Surg 1997;63:

Quadricuspid aortic valves in Syrian hamsters and their formation according to current knowledge on valvulogenesis. Japanese Journal of Veterinary Research 2015; 63: 37-43
