Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 5.3%
The David procedure for aortic root repair demonstrates excellent long-term outcomes with zero 5-year mortality and low reoperation rates compared to other valve-sparing techniques.

Charchyan et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (n=84). Aortic valve reimplantation (David procedure) vs. Other methods of aortic root repair (fixation of commissures, leaflets plication, sinotubular ridge repair) was evaluated on In-hospital and 5-year mortality.
