Abstract

Introduction:The initial portion of the aortic root, which consists of leaflets of the aortic valve, is occupied by the aortic sinuses, also called the sinuses of Valsalva(1). The aortic sinuses reach beyond the upper border of the cusp and form a well-defined, complete, and circumferential sinutubular ridge when viewed from the aortic aspect. The right coronary artery arises from the right coronary sinus (anterior aortic sinus) of the ascending aorta.. Malformations of the position of the ostia and origin of coronary arteries lead to high risk of sudden death.
