Aortic Valve Repair

Aortic valve repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing problems with the aortic valve, which regulates blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. This valve can become narrowed (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation), leading to heart complications. During the repair, surgeons may reshaping or reinforcing the valve to improve its function. This procedure helps restore normal blood flow, reduces symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue, and can improve heart function, allowing patients to lead healthier lives. Unlike valve replacement, repair maintains the patient's original valve.
