In the case of severe acute aortic insufficiency, all individuals should undergo surgery if there are no absolute contraindications for surgery.  Individuals with bacteremia with aortic valve endocarditis should not wait for treatment with antibiotics to take effect, given the high mortality associated with the acute aortic insufficiency. Instead, replacement with an [[artificial heart valve|aortic valve]] [[homograft]] should be performed if feasible.
