Figure 1 – Schematic view of the RAV in 4-leaflet
configuration. Performed measurements are marked. CSO – coronary sinus
ostium, CTI – cavo-tricuspid isthmus, InFI – inferior isthmus, IVC –
inferior vena cava, LH – leaflet height, LL – leaflet length, RAA –
right atrial appendage, SupI – superior isthmus.
Figure 2 – Photograph of a cadaveric heart specimen showing
the example of 4-leaflet right atrioventricular valve. CTI –
cavo-trisuspid isthmus, RAA – right atrial appendage.
Figure 3 – Photograph of a cadaveric heart specimen showing
the example of 3-leaflet right atrioventricular valve with muro-septal
commissure located at the level of terminal crest (TC). RAA – right
atrial appendage.
