sinus of Valsalva
sinus aortae

An aortic sinus , also known as a sinus of Valsalva ,[1] is one of the anatomic dilations of the ascending aorta , which occurs just above the aortic valve . These widenings are between the wall of the aorta and each of the three cusps of the aortic valve.[2]
The aortic sinuses cause eddies which prevent the valve cusps from touching the internal surface of the aorta and obstructing the openings of the coronary arteries.[3]
Structure [ edit ]
There are generally three aortic sinuses, one anterior and two posterior sinuses. These give rise to coronary arteries :[4] [better source needed ]
The left aortic or left posterior aortic sinus gives rise to the left coronary artery ;
The right aortic or anterior aortic sinus gives rise to the right coronary artery ;
The posterior aortic or right posterior aortic sinus usually gives rise to no vessels. It is often known as the non-coronary sinus.
The aortic sinuses are typically more prominent than the pulmonary sinuses.[5]
Clinical significance [ edit ]
If the coronary arteries arise from the wrong aortic sinuses, this can put the heart's ventricles at risk of ischaemia .[6] This is often only discovered when a heart attack has already occurred, usually before the age of 20 and during exercise .[6]
Each aortic sinus can also be referred to as the sinus of Valsalva ,[1] the sinus of Morgagni , the sinus of Mehta , the sinus of Otto , or Petit's sinus .
