You might need this operation if you have a problem with your heart’s aortic valve.
When this valve opens, blood goes from your heart into your aorta (the largest artery in your body) and on to the rest of your body. When your aortic valve closes, it keeps blood from flowing the wrong way back into your heart. This cycle repeats with every heartbeat.
If certain things go wrong with that valve, your doctor may recommend that you have surgery to replace it.
