Overview
Surgical intervention may be a necessary component of treatment. Intervention methods may include mechanical and device based therapies such as bileaflet mechanical aortic valves.
Aortic stenosis surgery devices|Mechanical and Device Based Therapy
Aortic stenosis requires aortic valve replacement if medical management does not successfully control symptoms. According to a prospective, single-center, nonrandomized study of 25 patients, percutaneous implantation of an aortic valve prosthesis in high risk patients with aortic stenosis results in marked hemodynamic and clinical improvement when successfully completed.[1]
