1 Aortic dimensions in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves 
Veronica Jackson, MD, Christian Olsson, MD, PhD, Per Eriksson, PhD, Anders Franco-Cereceda, MD, PhD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 146, Issue 3, Pages (September 2013) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2013 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Schematic illustration of the aortic measure points: 1 = annulus; 2 = sinus of Valsalva; 3 = sinotubular junction; 4 = ascending aorta (ie, maximal aortic width distal to the sinotubular junction and proximal to the innominate artery); 5 = proximal aortic arch (ie, maximal aortic width distal to the innominate artery and proximal to the left common carotid artery); 6 = distal aortic arch (ie, maximal aortic width distal to the left common carotid artery and proximal to the left subclavian artery); 7 = aortic isthmus; 8 = descending aorta (ie, maximal aortic width distal to the aortic isthmus and proximal to the diaphragm); 9 = suprarenal aorta (ie, maximal aortic width distal to the coeliac trunk and proximal to the superior mesenteric artery); 10 = infrarenal aorta (ie, maximal aortic width distal to the most caudal renal artery).
