Abstract

This paper reviews the actual topics of aortic root biomechanics and hemodynamics. The current concept of aortic root anatomy and histology is described. Physiological cyclical deformation of the aortic root is reviewed from the functional point of view. Such fundamental aspects of aortic hemodynamics as Windkessel effect, spiral blood flow and the role of vortical flow in the aortic sinuses where also mentioned. Described topics seem relevant for the problem of adequate aortic reconstruction.
