case_images: The annulus was measured at 32 mm (Z-score: +10.5), sinus of Valsalva at 90 mm (Z-score: +12.6), and the ascending aorta at 51 mm (Z-score: +8.3) (Fig. 1a). A computed tomography (CT) evaluation revealed aneurysmatic dilatation from the aortic root to the right truncal brachiocephalic branch, 90 mm from the level of the sinus of Valsalva (Fig. 1b, 1c).
