Abstract
ANATOMICAL studies have demonstrated the lateral extent of the sinus of Valsalva which has a well defined ridge forming its upper margin, and have indicated that the geometry of the aortic root remains constant between different species. The valve mechanism was studied experimentally using a rigid model of the aortic root which included the coronary arteries.
