Figure 2. Ventricular View of Leaflet with Marker Grid.

Figure 2

The whole aorta was sutured into the flow loop such that the ventricular sides of the leaflets were visible to be photographed. The ventricular side of the non-coronary leaflet was marked with a grid of 48 markers using tissue marking dye but the coaptation geometry allowed only 42 visible markers.
