Article Title: Changes in aortic root dimensions post aortic root enlargement with Y-incision and modified aortotomy

doi: 10.21037/acs-2024-aae-0042

Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative example with 3D renderings of the aortic root from pre-operative (left) and post-operative (right) CT scans, demonstrating typical changes in the anatomy observed with Y-incision ARE, including significant enlargement of the sinus widths (+11 mm in this case) and STJ with upsizing by three valve sizes (implanted 29 mm Maga Ease). RCA, right coronary artery; LM, left main; 3D, three-dimensional; CT, computed tomography; ARE, aortic root enlargement; STJ, sinotubular junction.

Article Snippet: Measurements were performed by an experienced cardiovascular imager using specialized three-dimensional (3D) analysis software (Vitrea, Vital Images Inc., Product Version 7.14, Minnetonka, MN, USA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of LLLT on MRONJ-like mouse model. A The study's experimental protocols are depicted in this diagram. B Representative intraoral photos. (Ctrl: non-drug treatment group; Zol: treated with Zol group; Zol + LLLT: treated with Zol and LLLT group). Green dotted lines represent unhealed gingiva. C MicroCT reconstructed 3D images of tooth sockets. Green dotted lines represent tooth sockets. D , E Quantification of BMD and BV/TV in each group. F H&E staining shows tooth extraction sockets-wound healing in each group. Black dotted boxes represent magnified boxed regions. Green dotted lines represent unhealed gingiva. Green dot lines represent necrotic bones. Scale bar = 200 μm (upper), scale bar = 100 μm (lower). G H&E staining shows the human gingiva of healthy and MRONJ patients. Black dotted boxes represent magnified boxed regions. Black arrows represent inflammatory cells. Scale bar = 200 μm (upper), scale bar = 50 μm (lower). H Masson’s trichrome staining shows tooth extraction sockets-wound healing in each group. Yellow dotted boxes represent magnified boxed regions. Scale bar = 200 μm (upper), scale bar = 100 μm (lower). I Masson’s trichrome staining shows collagen arrangement in human gingiva tissues. Yellow dotted boxes represent magnified boxed regions. Scale bar = 200 μm (upper), scale bar = 100 μm (lower). (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001)

Article Snippet: The area of interest was chosen, and bone mineral density (BMD) and bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) were quantified by three-dimensional (3D) bone morphometric software (SIEMENS, Munich, Germany).
