Specialtycardiology

Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (also known as the David procedure) is a cardiac surgery procedure which is used to treat Aortic aneurysms and to prevent Aortic dissection.[1] It involves replacement of the aortic root without replacement of the aortic valve. Two similar procedures were developed, one by Sir Magdi Yacoub,[2] and another by Tirone David.[3][4]

Techniques

Re-modeling Technique

Established by Sir Magdi Yacoub.

Re-implantation Technique
