Aortic stenosis due to calcification of tricuspid aortic valve with age [16] comprises >50% of the disease. Aortic stenosis due to calcification of a bicuspid aortic valve [16] comprises about 30-40% [15] of the disease. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipoproteinemia and uremia may speed up the process of valvular calcification. [15]
Aortic regurgitation (AR), also known as aortic insufficiency (AI), is the leaking of the aortic valve of the heart that causes blood to flow in the reverse direction during ventricular diastole, from the aorta into the left ventricle. As a consequence, the cardiac muscle is forced to work harder than normal.
Aortic valve repair or aortic valve reconstruction describes the reconstruction of both form and function of the native and dysfunctioning aortic valve. Most frequently it is applied for the treatment of aortic regurgitation. It can also become necessary for the treatment of an aortic aneurysm, less frequently for congenital aortic stenosis. [53]
Just like aortic stenosis, treatment for aortic regurgitation is replacement of the valve after symptoms and left ventricular dysfunction develops. SUMMARY All right, as a quick recap…. Aortic stenosis happens if the aortic valve doesn’t open all the way, and aortic valve regurgitation happens if the valve doesn’t close all the way.
The aortic valve normally has three cusps or leaflets, although in 1–2% of the population it is found to congenitally have two leaflets. [1] The aortic valve is the last structure in the heart the blood travels through before stopping the flow through the systemic circulation. [1]
