David Procedure
The David Procedure, or valve-sparing aortic root replacement, is a cardiac surgery technique that repairs the aortic valve while preserving its natural structure.
It is primarily indicated for patients with aortic root aneurysms or valve dysfunction, avoiding the need for prosthetic valve replacement.
Indications and Patient Assessment
The David Procedure is suitable for patients with aortic root aneurysms, aortic insufficiency, or connective tissue disorders affecting the valve. Preoperative evaluation includes imaging and cardiac assessments to ensure safety and efficacy.
Surgical Technique and Approach
The surgery involves excising the diseased aortic root while retaining the patient’s own valve, followed by reimplantation into a synthetic graft. This maintains native valve function and reduces long-term anticoagulation needs.
Recovery and Postoperative Care
Post-surgery, patients are monitored in ICU, then step-down care. Recovery includes activity restriction, cardiac rehabilitation, and regular imaging follow-ups to ensure valve function.
