aortic valve repairs

Aortic valve repair involves correcting problems with the valve that controls blood flow from the heart's left ventricle to the aorta, the main artery. The goal is to restore proper function, prevent leakage (regurgitation), or reduce narrowing (stenosis). Techniques may include repairing or reshaping the valve parts, removing calcium deposits, or adjusting the valve leaflets to ensure they close tightly. The procedure helps improve blood flow and heart efficiency without needing a full valve replacement. It's typically performed through surgery on the heart, sometimes using minimally invasive methods, resulting in better valve function and longer-term heart health.
