Case description

The complex physiology and function of the aorta make the successful diagnosis and treatment of aortic regurgitation a highly nuanced endeavor. Using data and surgical videos, we explore:

● Why patients suffering aortic regurgitation should not wait until symptoms appear to seek expert evaluation and treatment – early diagnosis offers most patients more treatment options.

● Why patients suffering aortic regurgitation should seek evaluation and treatment at high-volume reference centers, which specialize in advanced procedures such as aortic repair and the Ross Procedure.
