Dr. Roy Ziegelstein discusses the value of autopsies and the incredible, indelible effect of seeing pathology revealed in figures. Readers will be blown away by the beauty of the figures and the correlation of the pictures with the description of pathology presented in the article "Natural History of Adults With Congenitally Malformed Aortic Valves (Unicuspid or Bicuspid)," in the November 2012 issue of Medicine. The article is a tour-de-force that may not be seen again as autopsies become more rare. These images can have a lasting effect on a clinician's practice.
