title: [UT modification of the "David-V" procedure].
abstract: Valve-sparing aortic root reimplantation with creation of pseudosinuses, so-called "David-V"  procedure,is a promising surgical choice to treat annuloaortic ectasia (AAE). We have developed a simple modification of this procedure, which facilitates exposure and also enables good adjustment of the native aortic root anatomy and the graft. In this article we describe our original technique and its mid-term results.
