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.
