Opinion on valve repair!

Hi ,

Am 22 yr old active guy much into sports and I hit gym 5 days a week and I've been a energetic guy throughout my life As my company's insurance policy expires this March,I had an Master health checkup and shockingly the doc said I have a leaky aortic valve and it is in severe state so I would require a surgery within a year

Post that I consulted with multiple doctors and everyone's interpretation was a bit diff The initial one said there are chances for valve repair and then if not here suggested for a ross procedure or mechanical valve

And the other docs have not much interest on one repair most of them advised for a replacement as am young a repair wouldn't last much and there would be much re operating complications

Kindly post your comments on this and what shall I go with

: I have a tricuspid aortic valve regurgitation with normal heart function and completely asymptomatic and one of the lab technicians said my left cusp seems a bit smaller or rolled up causing a coaptation delete. Still no one knows the real reason before cracking my sternum open
