A member asked:
Are there any new treatments for aortic insufficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: The only treatment for significant aortic insufficiency is aortic valve replacement. That said many patients do well and live long lives without surgery if the valve leakage is mild or moderate in degree.
