Determination of the aortic plane using pre-procedural CT scan and angiography

(A) Three-dimensional CT reconstruction demonstrating the aortic plane running from right anterior oblique (RAO) caudal to left anterior oblique (LAO) cranial angles.
(B, C) Aortic root injection in LAO (B) and RAO (C) views demonstrates the aortic valve plane with location of each leaflet, respectively.

CT: computed tomography; NCC: noncoronary cusp; LCC: left coronary cusp; RCC: right coronary cusp.
