Please help! what happens in aortic valve replacement surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
New valve: The diseased vale is removed during surgery, and a new valve, either mechanical or biologic, is used to replace it. There are multiple types of valves available, and are chosen based on age, life style, and patient preference.
