Aortic Valve Replacement is a surgery to replace an aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve regurgitation. During this surgery, the injured valve is detached and replaced with an artificial valve. It is also known as open heart surgery. A minimally invasive surgery or a catheter procedure to replace the aortic valve may be an option for some patients.
This valve replacement surgery is based on many things including how harsh the stenosis is, whether having symptoms, and how well the heart is pumping blood. Before the valve replacement surgery can fix aortic valve regurgitation, which helps in relieving symptoms and prevents from heart failure. This replacement surgery is an effective treatment for people who have severe aortic valve stenosis.
