Valve-sparing aortic root replacement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (also known as the David procedure) is a cardiac surgery procedure.
It involves replacement of the aortic root without replacement of the aortic valve. Two similar procedures were developed, one by Sir Magdi Yacoub,[1] and another by Tirone David.
