Conditions Treated by Aortic Valve Repair and Replacement Surgery

  • Aortic Valve regurgitation: Instead of moving forward, the blood flows backwards through the Aortic Valve into the heart chamber. It is a result of a faulty or leaky valve.
  • Aortic Valve stenosis: Some people have a narrowed or blocked Aortic Valve. Since the damaged valve cannot open properly, the heart works overtime to pump blood to the aorta.
  • Rheumatic heart disease: Caused by rheumatic fever, the disease may cause inflammation that may damage the heart valve.
  • Congenital heart defects: Some infants are born with only two cusps of the Aortic Valve which leads to early degeneration of the Aortic Valve requiring a valve repair or replacement .
