They then shut tightly until the next heartbeat. If you have aortic regurgitation, the flaps around your aortic valve — the valve that pumps blood to your heart — don’t close fully.

In aortic insufficiency whenever aortic-valve closure leaves a defect of 0.3 sq. cm. or larger, significant regurgitation occurs with leaks of blood equal to and probably up to three times the ...

A transcatheter aortic valve replacement system designed to treat aortic regurgitation exceeded its safety and performance goals. A randomized controlled trial comparing TAVR with surgery is planned.

Known as Quincke’s sign, this pulsation is caused by aortic regurgitation, also called valve regurgitation. “This means that as the blood is leaving the heart to go to the body, a significant ...
