title: Valve-sparing aortic root reconstruction in patient with prior renal transplantation.
abstract: We describe a David operation in a 62-year-old renal transplant recipient with valsalva aneurysm and concomitant aortic insufficiency. The risk of postoperative infection seemed significant because he was receiving immunosuppressive therapy; thus, David operation was performed. He recovered uneventfully. David operation appears to be an attractive alternative in transplant recipients.
