Mitral Valve Repair Center

When a patient’s aortic valve is irreparably damaged, either because it has calcified and narrowed (Aortic Stenosis) or because it is leaking (Aortic Regurgitation), one proven therapy is the Ross procedure.

The complex physiology and function of the aorta make the successful diagnosis and treatment of aortic regurgitation a highly nuanced endeavor.
