Advances in Aortic Valve and Aneurysm Surgery with Dr. Eric Roselli

In this special patient education webinar, Dr. Eric Roselli, Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery and Surgical Director of the Aorta Center at Cleveland Clinic, joins Adam Pick, founder of HeartValveSurgery.com, to explore the life-threatening connection between aortic valve disease and aortic aneurysms. Dr. Roselli explains how aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, and bicuspid aortic valves affect the heart and aorta. He also discusses the risks of developing an aortic aneurysm, important warning signs, genetic considerations, and how these conditions are diagnosed and monitored.

Dr. Roselli provides an in-depth review of the latest treatment options for aortic valve disease and aortic aneurysms, including surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), aortic valve repair, and valve-sparing procedures. He explains when surgery may be necessary, compares mechanical and tissue valves, and discusses exciting advances in minimally invasive, robotic, and endovascular techniques. Throughout his presentation, Dr. Roselli emphasizes the importance of selecting treatments that provide the best long-term outcomes through personalized care and shared decision-making.

During an interactive patient Q&A, Dr. Roselli answers important questions about aneurysm measurements, genetic testing and family screening, heart valve durability, repeat operations, surgical risks, and recovery. He also shares insights into emerging technologies that may transform how complex aortic conditions are treated in the future. The webinar provides patients and their families with valuable information to better understand their diagnoses, evaluate treatment options, and make informed decisions about their lifelong heart health.
