Reimplantation Valve-sparing Root Replacement Research Articles

A reimplantation valve-sparing root replacement (T. David-V) and aortic valve repair procedure in a patient with Marfan syndrome

Valve-sparing aortic root replacement using the reimplantation technique (T. David-V operation) has become the gold standard in patients with annuloaortic ectasia, given that the aortic valve is morphologically intact or repairable. The benefits of preserving the native aortic valve extend beyond avoiding the inconvenience and complications of prolonged exposure to anticoagulants. This video tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to the T. David-V procedure in a male patient with Marfan syndrome, annuloaortic ectasia, and moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation.

Reimplantation Technique (David Operation) for Multiple Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysms

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are relatively uncommon, and surgical repair is indicated at the time of diagnosis whether or not symptoms are present. This generally entails closure using a patch technique because usually only one sinus is involved. We report here the successful treatment of multiple sinus of Valsalva aneurysms using a David reimplantation valve-sparing root replacement.
