Asymmetric Dynamics of the Native Aortic Annulus Evaluated by Force Transducer and Sonomicrometry in a Porcine Model

ConclusionsThis study is the first to describe detailed segmental dynamics and force distribution of the native aortic annulus in a porcine modelin vivo. The heterogenous behavior of the aortic annulus suggests that different segments demand different support for repair of the aortic root and valve.
