Two-dimensional echocardiography can demonstrate a thickened aortic valve, reduced leaflet mobility and concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. The severity of aortic stenosis is determined by ...

As your heart beats, it pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic valve and into the aorta, your body’s largest artery. The aortic valve is made up of three triangular flaps of ...

Otherwise, we will use conscious sedation without a ventilator. We may also use transesophageal echocardiography (a type of ultrasound) to see your aortic valve inserted while you are asleep and then ...
