Aortic valve on transesophageal echocardiogram

Panel A: Horizontal (0) imaging shows the aortic valve (AoV during systole with the leaflets widely opened. Panel B: Short axis view of the normal trileaflet aortic valve at 37º transducer rotation during systole. Panel C: With the same transducer position, the short axis view during diastole is seen and the right (RCC), left (LCC), and non-coronary cusps (NCC) are well delineated.
