Although insufficiency or leakage in the aortic valve does not cause significant symptoms in the beginning, it begins to seriously affect the life of the individual in the later periods. This disease, which damages the heart muscles and causes increased lung blood pressure, poses a serious risk for cardiovascular health.

Today, valve surgery can be performed using minimally invasive surgery with incisions of a few centimeters. Aortic valve diseases can be treated with surgery in some cases. In such cases, treatment is performed by repairing the valve. However, if it is advanced, it may not be possible to repair it, and in this case, it will be replaced.
