Aortic valve replacement
Aortic valve replacement is a surgical procedure in which a malfunctioning aortic valve in the heart is replaced with a new valve. This operation is often necessary when the aortic valve becomes damaged or diseased, leading to conditions such as aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. The new valve can be either mechanical, made from synthetic materials, or biological, derived from animal tissues or donated human tissue. The procedure aims to restore normal blood flow, reduce symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath, and improve overall heart function and quality of life.
