What Is Aortic Valve Repair?

The aortic valve is a semilunar valve, located between the left ventricle and the aorta, and inhibits blood flow into the left ventricle from entering the aorta, which is morphologically similar to a pulmonary valve. Because of its central position, the aortic valve is closely related to each heart cavity and valve. Comprehensive knowledge of these relationships is the basis for understanding aortic valve pathology and many congenital heart malformations.

Repairing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in pediatric patients with viable autograft materials can grow with the child and avoid the use of anticoagulants. Accurately grasping the anatomy of the left ventricular outflow tract is also of great significance for the treatment of aortic valve endocarditis. Because the aortic valve is at the center compared to other valves and the heart cavity, abscess formation can create a fistula between the aorta and either heart cavity. Therefore, in addition to the common signs of systemic embolism in sepsis, patients can also present with left heart failure, left to right shunt, and / or complete cardiac block.
