Based on experience acquired in the operating room, the acute-angle subcommissural triangles were considered normal, the equilateral triangles mildly dilated, and the obtuse triangles severely dilated. According to this classification, different reparative approaches were selected. A CTscan 3D reconstruction method, as validated by the present data, allows a preoperative evaluation of the triangles and VAJ in order to best plan a surgical reparative approach tailored to a single patient.
