Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Arterial view of the aorta

Description: This arterial view of the aortic valve demonstrates the bifoliate nature of the valve. The right and left coronary leaflets are fused with a prominent raphe demonstrating the line of non-separation between the conjoined leaflets. The edge of the conjoined leaflets is thickened, rendering the valve insufficient. The non-coronary leaflet is of normal thickness. (RCA - right coronary artery).
