Overview: Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening
... Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening, causing obstruction of the flow of oxygenated blood into the circulatory system. This condition forces the heart to work harder and causes the left ventricular muscles to thicken over time. The most common cause for aortic stenosis is depos ...

Cardiac surgery
Cardiovascular (heart) surgery is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. Frequently, it is done to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, coronary artery bypass grafting), correct congenital heart disease, or treat valvular heart disease from various causes including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease and atherosclerosis. It also includes heart transplantation.
