Aortic regurgitation is a valvular disorder that necessitates the integration of multiple aspects of clinical practice. The underlying etiologies span an array of pathologies, including congenital, infectious, structural, and traumatic causes. Imaging studies range from traditional cardiac diagnostic strategies to advanced imaging modalities. Meanwhile, depending on clinical presentation, management may involve a medical or surgical approach. Long-term surveillance and chronic disease management are crucial in preventing progression into further complications, such as heart failure. This review aims to provide a thorough, comprehensive analysis of the contemporary understanding of aortic regurgitation. The information we have included will offer a unique perspective on how recent updates in diagnostic and management strategies can be applied to provide excellent patient care. Specifically, we have attempted to focus on exploring the innovations in the invasive management of aortic regurgitation.
