Chairman of the Heart, Thoracic and Vascular Disease Lars Svensson, MD, describes aortic valve repair at Cleveland Clinic. Aortic valve repair is often combined with valve preservation or reimplantation surgery in patients who require aorta surgery for dilated aorta or aortic root in both bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves. He presents outcomes, when to operate, considerations in repair vs. replacement, and operative techniques.
