Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for pressurization of an aortic valve of a heart before and/or after a valve surgery procedure to mimic the physiologic environment that the aortic valve experiences while allowing surgeons to visually inspect the aortic valve, so that if additional repair needs to be performed, it can be done immediately before aortotomy closure.
