A member asked:
Is placing the prosthetic aortic valve at the supra level a viable option for people with smaller ao measurements? also is root enlargement risky?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avr: Your 'supra' needs to be defined. If you mean above the coronary Ostia the answer in no. Aortic root dilation is not a good thing.
