Abstract

The aortic valve, which is seen at the root of Aorta possess three semi lunar cusps namely the right coronary, the left coronary, and the noncoronary. Aortic valves, especially bicuspid and unicuspid valves, have generated considerable interest among clinicians, largely because the valves are frequently stenotic or incompetent and also because they may be corrected surgically [1].Aortic valve malformations may also affect the wall of the aorta leading to pathological changes like calcification and plaque formation which may ultimately result in ischemia and cerebral infarction. The present study of Aortic valve in Indian subjects aims in discussing the findings according to the embryological, clinical and surgical implications. This study will also provide an anatomical basis to assist surgeons in performing safe vascular surgeries involving the aortic valve, in future.
