As a moderately terrified incoming new attending, this decreased my anxiety level at least 10% (which is a lot). Thank you!

aortic root sinus shape matters

Normals: sinuses have vortices that allow for smooth closure

Aortic root replacement:(straight tube) lacks sinus architecture & vortices are not formed https://t.co/fMKiXHiqa8

Loss of this function after root replacement may⬆️stress on leaflets

#TCT2022 if patient has CABG, should we go for CCTA as first test or do invasive angiogram? BypassCTCA answers the questions! Results are obvious to those who already advocate for #YesCCT for the win!
