Aortic Root Surgery

Aortic Root Surgery

What Is the Aortic Root?

The aorta is your largest blood vessel. It carries blood from your heart to your body. 

The aortic root is the beginning of the aorta, where it connects to the heart. It contains the aortic valve and the origins of the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries bring blood to the heart to keep it working properly.

There are several types of aortic root surgeries. In some, surgeons replace your aortic valve. In others, they repair your existing valve.
