Abstrakt: Improved strategies in aortic valve-preserving operations appreciate the dynamic, three-dimensional complexity of the aortic root and its valve. This depends not only on detailed four-dimensional imaging of the planar dimensions of the aortic root but also on quantitative assessment of the valvar leaflets and their competency. The zones of apposition and resulting hemodynamic ventriculoarterial junction formed in diastole determine valvar competency. Current understanding and assessment of this junction is limited, often relying on intraoperative direct surgical inspection. However, this direct inspection itself is limited by evaluation in a nonhemodynamic state with limited field of view. In this review, we discuss the anatomy of the aortic root, including its hemodynamic junction. We review current echocardiographic approaches toward interrogating the incompetent aortic valve for presurgical planning. Furthermore, we introduce and standardize a complementary approach to assessing this hemodynamic ventriculoarterial junction by three-dimensional echocardiography to further personalize presurgical planning for aortic valve surgery.
