The sinuses of Valsalva are known to contribute to the normal function of the aortic valve. Little is known about their role in promoting coronary artery blood flow. The aim of this study was to compare coronary artery flow characteristics among patients undergoing a Bentall operation by means of a conventional cylindrical Dacron conduit or with a new conduit with pseudosinuses of Valsalva or in patients retaining their natural sinuses of Valsalva after aortic valve and supracoronary ascending aorta replacement.
