Surgical Video Case Study
Treating Aortic Regurgitation: Etiologies, Timing and Surgical Approach
The complex physiology and function of the aorta make the successful diagnosis and treatment of aortic regurgitation a highly nuanced endeavor. Using data and surgical videos, we explore:
- Why patients suffering aortic regurgitation should not wait until symptoms appear to seek expert evaluation and treatment – early diagnosis offers most patients more treatment options.
- Why patients suffering aortic regurgitation should seek evaluation and treatment at high-volume reference centers, which specialize in advanced procedures such as aortic repair and the Ross Procedure.
