Normative Aortic Valvar Measurements in Adults Using Cardiac Computed Tomography 　- A Potential Guide to Further Sophisticate Aortic Valve-Sparing Surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: Diversities, as well as characteristic relationships among each value involving the aortic root, were identified using living-heart datasets. The aortic leaflets demonstrated compensatory elongation along with aortic root dilatation to maintain constant coaptation length. These measurements will serve as the standard value for revealing the underlying mechanism of aortic regurgitation to plan optimal aortic valve-sparing surgery.
