Abstract
This review article provides an overview of various aortic valve pathologies and when intervention is indicated with each one. The management options and their controversies are then reviewed, including new technologies, specifically the transcatheter aortic valves and sutureless aortic valves. Aortic root or ascending aorta pathology is out of the scope of this chapter, which focuses on pure aortic valvular disease. Classes of recommendation are often referenced and the definitions are summarized in Table 1.
