The aortic valve consists of three cuspsright, left, and posteriorwhich form small bulging spaces known as the aortic sinuses. These sinuses help maintain smooth blood flow and create eddies that prevent the cusps from sticking to the aortic wall. The right and left coronary arteries originate from their respective sinuses, allowing them to fill during diastole when the valve closes. This arrangement ensures that the heart receives its blood supply when ventricular pressure is low. The close relationship between the valve and coronary openings has important implications for valve disease and surgical replacement.
