The effect of aortic root anatomy and vortex flow induced shear stress on the aortic valve leaflets

Year: 2021

Type: editorial

Abstract: This editorial refers to ‘Influence of aneurysmal aortic root geometry on mechanical stress to the aortic valve leaflet’, by H. Hayashi et al., pp. 986--94. ‘Vortex reigns, having expelled Zeus’ Aristophanes, Clouds (423 BC), Strepsiades speaking. [tr. Hickie 1853, vol. 1, Perseus] The anatomy of aortic root and its components has been shown to significantly affect the flow through the aorta. Aberrant flows in the ascending aorta are mainly due to aortic abnormalities of the aortic root or the aorta, which can be corrected by surgical repair.1–4 However, the effect of the aberrant flow on the aortic root and the aorta is less clear, although this...
