Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a disease which occurs due to the narrowing of aortic valve opening. This results in decreased blood flow to the heart. The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle of the heart and the aorta (the largest artery in the body), and helps to circulate the entire blood to the systemic circulation. Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease in the Western World. Symptoms related to aortic stenosis depend on the degree of valve stenosis. Most people with mild to moderate aortic stenosis are asymptomatic. Symptoms usually present in individuals with severe aortic stenosis, though they may occur in those with mild to moderate aortic stenosis as well. The t symptoms of aortic stenosis are fainting, anginal chest pain and shortness of breath, In severe cases it may also lead to heart failure.

As with all medical procedures, both TAVI and SAVR have their own outcomes and risks. Read on to know all about it.
"Upon arrival, the patient was in a critical condition. She had low blood pressure and was severely symptomatic with breathlessness and giddiness," said a doctor.
Valve replacements have become more affordable with the introduction of the 'Made in India' valves. Know the benefits of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement saves life of two patients with aortic stenosis. Read to know more about this heart condition and treatment options available.
This breakthrough technology for aortic valve surgery was a bliss for 33-year-old welder who was suffering from chronic aortic valve disorder.
This condition occurs when the aortic valve narrows down and it prevents the valve from opening completely. This prevents proper blood flow from the heart towards the inside of the main artery, aorta and rest of the body as it creates a blockage.
Turns out, people with a long-term problem of blood pressure has an increased risk of aortic valve disease (AVD) - problems with the valve that controls how blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart out into the main artery, the aorta.
The procedure allows the surgeon to put a valve inside the valve without open heart surgery.
