Do you know any way to treat aortic stenosis besides valve replacement surgery?

Aortic Valve Tx: This is an excellent question! The treatment of aortic valve stenosis (AS) is multi-factorial and depends on your symptoms, what the valve looks like (morphology-so how many leaflets) and how well it is working (stenosis=blockage vs. leakage). AS can be potentially initially treated in the cath lab with good/excellent results - but AS is a progressive disease so surgery may eventually be needed.

Transcatheter : There is no medical treatment for aortic stenosis other than replacing the valve by open heart surgery or by transcatheter approach whereby the artificial valve is delivered to the aorta by a catheter through the aorta in the groin (femoral artery) percutaneously. In the US ,the procedure is approved only in patients deemed too risky to undergo open heart surgery.
