Aortic Valve Disease

  • Chapter
Book cover Percutaneous Treatment of Left Side Cardiac Valves

Abstract

Aortic stenosis (AS) is an obstruction to blood ejection from the left ventricle (LV) due to a fixed or dynamic stenosis located in the valve either over (supravalvular) or below it (subvalvular) [1].
