Valve-sparing aortic root replacement using a straight tube graft (David I procedure).
We present our 25-year experience with valve-sparing aortic root replacement using a straight tube graft (David-I). ⋯ The aortic valve-sparing David-I procedure can be performed with very low perioperative morbidity and mortality. The short- and long-term results are excellent. The straight tube graft does not lead to increased leaflet erosion. This procedure is reproducible by multiple surgeons.
