Why the study?
To compare the results of the David and Bentall operations in patients with aneurysms of the root and ascending aorta.
Does the David procedure improve early postoperative clinical results compared to the Bentall procedure in patients with aneurysms of the root and ascending aorta?
Population
85 patients undergoing planned and urgent surgery for root and ascending aorta aneurysms
Comparison
David procedure vs Bentall procedure
Design
Single-centre study
Key result
The David procedure resulted in a significantly shorter total hospital stay (17.3 days) compared to the Bentall procedure (23.7 days, p=0.01) in patients with aneurysms of the root and ascending aorta.

Does the David procedure improve early postoperative clinical results compared to the Bentall procedure in patients with aneurysms of the root and ascending aorta?
Absolute Event Rate: 17.3% vs 23.7%
p-value: p=0.01
The David procedure is as safe as the Bentall procedure for ascending and aortic root aneurysms, offering a shorter hospital stay and significant improvement in aortic valve insufficiency.
Zelenchuk et al. (2024) conducted a cohort in Aneurysm of the root and ascending aorta (n=85). David procedure vs. Bentall procedure was evaluated on Total length of hospital stay (days) (p=0.01). The David procedure resulted in a significantly shorter total hospital stay (17.3 days) compared to the Bentall procedure (23.7 days, p=0.01) in patients with aneurysms of the root and ascending aorta.
