About Aortic Valve Disease
Aortic valve disease is a complex and life-threatening form of heart disease resulting from a blocked aortic valve (aortic stenosis) or a leaking aortic valve (aortic regurgitation). Scroll below to learn more.

Aortic Stenosis
Aortic Stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve that restricts blood flow to the human body. Aortic stenosis can progress slowly over many years. Or, the disease can progress quickly resulting in symptoms including fatigue, shortness of breath, heart palpitations and chest pain. The risks of not treating aortic stenosis are an enlarged heart, congestive heart failure and death.

Approximately 1.5 million people in the United States have aortic stenosis. It is estimated that 500,000 people have a severe form of the disease. Unfortunately, 250,000 people have side effects that limit their daily activities. As aortic stenosis is often mis-diagnosed and patients can be asymptomatic, over 750,000 people are unaware they have aortic stenosis.

Aortic regurgitation is a condition that occurs when the leaflets (or flaps) of the aortic valve do not close properly. As a result, blood that was pumped out of the heart leaks back into the heart causing extra strain on the muscle.

the heart causing extra strain on the cardiac muscle.

Some common symptoms of aortic regurgitation are as follows:
- Fatigue and weakness, especially when you increase your activity level
- Shortness of breath, especially with exertion or when you lie flat
- Chest pain, discomfort or tightness, often increasing during exercise
- Fainting
- Heart palpitations
- Swollen ankles and feet

Aortic valve disease is treated using surgical or transcatheter techniques. During a surgical procedure, the valve is repaired or replaced during open-heart surgery. In a transcatheter procedure, there is no incision to the patient’s chest or ribs. Instead, a catheter is used to replace the patient’s diseased aortic valve without open-heart surgery.
In 2011, the FDA approved the first, non-invasive transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) device for inoperable patients. Since then, TAVR received FDA approval for high-risk and intermediate risk patients. In 2019, TAVR was approved for low-risk patients with aortic stenosis. Watch this video to see how TAVR works without an incision to the patient’s chest or ribs.
