Aortic Valve Repair
Aortic valve repair may be considered when imaging suggests repairable anatomical conditions, the patient wishes to preserve the native valve, or aortic root geometry needs to be corrected in combination. The decision focuses on regurgitation mechanism, leaflet quality and calcification, annular and

How Aortic Valve Repair is performed
A combination of leaflet suturing, artificial chordae, annuloplasty, or root remodeling can be selected depending on the lesion morphology, and applicability is determined by imaging assessment. A thoracotomy approach is used under general anesthesia, often with cardiopulmonary bypass support to reconstruct leaflet coaptation and annular geometry, with intraoperative transesophageal ultrasound to assess residual regurgitation and pressure gradients. Postoperative monitoring of heart rhythm, blood flow, and drainage, with anticoagulation or antiplatelet management as needed, the goal is to improve closing function while preserving the native valve. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
