Aortic valve (AV) repair has evolved towards a treatment alternative in young patients with AV regurgitation and was accompanied by the development of surgical repair strategies. An efficient and reproducible AV annulus stabilization (i.e., annuloplasty) has been proposed as a crucial component to obtain the long-term stability of AV repair. However, there is still major controversy regarding the most appropriate annuloplasty approach. We aimed to address AV annulus structures which are relevant for AV annuloplasty, based on MS-CT data.
