    There are some excellent pictures on the Internet of the
    valves of the heart if you would like to see them by
    compalrison one with another. Just do a Google search. Diana

  4. Interesting question. OK so it is abt. 17mm. If one was to
    replace it with a prostesis, what size would the
    prostessis be???

    Depends on the size of the native aortic valve.

    Typically, the prosthesis will be a few mm smaller.

  6. Would the prosthesis cause significant restriction of blood
    flow? Increase the pressure inside the heart? The person
    with a prosthetic valve would have less work capacity?

    And thank you for all your answers.
