Most frequently it is applied for the treatment of aortic regurgitation.
2.
Life expectancy may be limited by severe aortic regurgitation.
3.
Left ventricle dysfunction determines to an extent the outlook for severity of aortic regurgitation cases.
4.
Heart failure due to acute aortic regurgitation is a surgical emergency associated with high mortality.
5.
Finally, aortic stenosis often co-exists with some degree of aortic insufficiency ( aortic regurgitation ).
6.
Disease of the heart valves can be congenital, such as aortic regurgitation or acquired, for example infective endocarditis.

8.
All had severe eccentric mitral regurgitation . ( One had severe aortic regurgitation also . ) One had flail posterior mitral leaflet.
9.
This is associated with increased stroke volume of the left ventricle and decrease in the peripheral resistance leading to the widened pulse pressure of aortic regurgitation.
10.
The blood jets from the aortic regurgitation strike the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve, which often results in premature closure of the mitral leaflets.
