The interleaflet triangles of aortic valve are the triangles demarcated by the base of the aortic valve leaflets. There are three interleaflet triangles in the aortic valve, corresponding to the areas where adjacent leaflets meet.
The supravalvular ridge of aorta forms a circular line joining the peaks of the commissures and marks the beginning of the tubular ascending aorta. The supravalvular ridge plays a role in maintaining the structure and function of the aorta.
The root of the aorta refers to the portion of the left ventricular outflow tract that supports the leaflets of the aortic valve. It includes the aortic valve leaflets, sinuses of Valsalva, and other components that allow the forward flow of blood when the valve is open and prevent backflow when it is closed.
These are the triangles demarcated by the base of the aortic valve leaflets. There are three interleaflet triangles in the aortic valve, corresponding to the areas where adjacent leaflets meet.
The noncoronary aortic sinus is the third sinus of Valsalva located behind the leaflets of the aortic valve. It is called “noncoronary” because it does not directly give rise to any coronary artery. This sinus is usually the largest among the three and is not directly associated with coronary arteries.
