This study is following about 120 patients who are having surgery to fix a leaky aortic valve (a condition where one of your heart valves doesn't close properly). The researchers want to understand how well the heart recovers after surgery, especially when there's also a problem with another valve (the mitral valve). They'll use heart ultrasounds and quality-of-life surveys to track your heart's recovery over time.
When the aortic valve leaks badly, it can cause the heart chambers to become dangerously enlarged and weakened. This study wants to understand whether leaving a minor mitral valve leak alone—rather than repairing it during surgery—might actually help the heart recover better after the aortic valve is fixed.

You will undergo planned surgery to repair your aortic valve at the study center. After surgery, you'll return for follow-up visits where doctors will perform heart ultrasounds (echocardiograms) to measure how your enlarged heart chambers are shrinking back to normal size and how your heart's pumping function is recovering. You'll also complete surveys about your quality of life and symptoms during the recovery period.
