==Overview==
Surgical intervention may be a necessary component of treatment. Intervention methods may include mechanical and device based therapies such as bileaflet mechanical aortic valves.
==Aortic stenosis surgery devices|Mechanical and Device Based Therapy==
Aortic stenosis requires [[aortic valve replacement]] if medical management does not successfully control symptoms.
According to a prospective, single-center, nonrandomized study of 25 patients, percutaneous implantation of an aortic valve prosthesis in high risk patients with aortic stenosis results in marked hemodynamic and clinical improvement when successfully completed.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Grube E, Laborde JC, Gerckens U, ''et al'' |title=Percutaneous implantation of the CoreValve self-expanding valve prosthesis in high-risk patients with aortic valve disease: the Siegburg first-in-man study |journal=Circulation |volume=114 |issue=15 |pages=1616-24 |year=2006 |pmid=17015786 |doi=10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.106.639450}}</ref>
