Aortic valve function restoration

Aortic valve function restoration refers to surgical or interventional procedures designed to repair or replace the aortic valve and restore its normal function. This may include aortic valve repair, where the patient's native valve is preserved, or aortic valve replacement, where the diseased valve is replaced with a mechanical or bioprosthetic prosthesis. The procedures address conditions such as aortic valve regurgitation, stenosis, or congenital malformations, aiming to improve blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta and prevent backflow. This concept does not refer to a specific molecular target, but to a clinical outcome achieved by perioperative and device-based approaches.
