Fig 1 Effective orifice area (EOA; measured in square centimeters) by the continuity equation in the Shelhigh group. Size refers to size of Shelhigh No-React stentless valves and conduits, in millimeters. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2003 75, 803-808DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)04555-1)
Fig 2 (Top left) Stentless Shelhigh valve (Shelhigh) in aortic position viewed from transesophageal position. (Top right) M-mode color Doppler echocardiography demonstrates flow inside the valve. (Bottom) Schematic presentation. Note coronary flow in right coronary sinus and artery (R Coro). (Diast = flow in diastole; Flow = Doppler flow in systole in two-dimensional echocardiography; Syst = flow in systole.)
