Surgical treatment is controversial in asymptomatic patients, however has been recommended if the [[ejection fraction]] falls below 50% or in the face of progressive and severe left ventricular dilatation.  For both groups of patients, surgery before the development of worse ejection fracture/LV systolic dilatation, is expected to reduce the risk of sudden death, and is associated with lower peri-operative mortality.
 
In the case of severe acute aortic insufficiency, all individuals should undergo surgery if there are no absolute contraindications for surgery.  Individuals with bacteremia with aortic valve endocarditis should not wait for treatment with antibiotics to take effect, given the high mortality associated with the acute AI.  In stead, replacement with an [[artificial heart valve|aortic valve]] [[homograft]] should be performed if feasible.
 
The surgical treatment of choice is [[aortic valve replacement]].  This is currently an open-heart procedure, requiring the individual to be placed on [[cardiopulmonary bypass]].
 
===Percutaneous Aortic Valve Replacement===
 
In the close future, it is hoped that a [[percutaneous]] approach to aortic valve replacement will be feasible.
