The aortic root is a complex functional unit extending from the basal attachment of the aortic valve cusps to the sinotubular junction (STJ). Which statement regarding surgical aortic root anatomy is correct?

The left and right coronary ostia arise symmetrically from the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva above the interleaflet triangles. The membranous septum is located directly beneath the commissure between the left and right coronary cusps. The geometric aortic valve annulus is crown-shaped (scalloped), whereas the virtual basal ring is a planar construct at the nadir of the cusp insertions. The sinotubular junction separates the ventricular myocardium from the muscular portion of the aortic root.

Correct Answer:

The geometric aortic valve annulus is crown-shaped (scalloped), whereas the virtual basal ring is a planar construct at the nadir of the cusp insertions.
