Aortic regurgitation is an undertreated condition, often because patients are not referred in a timely fashion for intervention. During this STS webinar, attendees will hear from an expert panel on the evidence base for timing of intervention as well as evolving treatment options. Conventional surgical aortic valve repair can be considered alongside the Ross procedure and transcatheter interventions with dedicated devices. Webinar participants will be better informed on how to treat this patient population.
