Can stem cell therapy help with valvular aortic stenosis?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not at present: Valvular aortic stenosis describes the presence of a valve that is malformed . Like putting a 1/2 inch pipe fixture on a 1 inch water line, it restricts the flow of fluid thru it. It must be stretched or replaced. I have read of research to build body parts( the correct size) using stem cells and acellular matrix, but availibility is years down the road if ever.

Not as of now: Not as of now. The only treatment currently is valve replacement.
