PY - 2017 T2 - Cardiac Surgery in the Adult, 5e AB - The aortic valve is a complex structure that is best described as a functional and anatomic unit, the aortic root. The aortic root has four components: aortoventricular junction or aortic annulus, aortic cusps, aortic sinuses, and sinotubular junction. In addition, the triangles beneath the commissures of the aortic valve, although part of the left ventricular outflow tract, are also important for valve function.
