Aortic valve repair
Treatment of aortic regurgitation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aortic valve repair or aortic valve reconstruction is the reconstruction of both form and function of a dysfunctional aortic valve. Most frequently it is used for the treatment of aortic regurgitation.[1] It can also become necessary for the treatment of aortic aneurysm, less frequently for congenital aortic stenosis.
