Surgical repair now feasible for most aortic valve disease; leaves open critical evaluation of durability and long-term outcomes.
Aortic valve disease can be treated surgically, but ongoing evaluation of techniques and prosthetic durability is required.
Dwight C. McGoon (1961) conducted a review in Aortic valve disease. Open heart surgery with extracorporeal circulation was evaluated. Open heart surgery utilizing extracorporeal circulation enables the surgical repair and prosthetic reconstruction of congenital aortic stenosis, calcific aortic stenosis, and aortic insufficiency.
