### Question: Complex Cusp Repair in Patients Undergoing the David Procedure: Is It Worth It?

### Context: 1: Valve-sparing aortic root replacement has already proven its excellent long-term results, with low valve-related complications comparable with conventional aortic valve replacement. The aim of this study was to investigate whether additional expanded cusp repair is an alternative with comparable results.
2: Data of 192 elective patients undergoing valve-sparing aortic root replacement were prospectively recorded: 58 patients (30.2%) received an isolated aortic root replacement (group I, isolated David), and 134 patients (69.8%) received additional cusp repair (group II, complex David), such as plication of the free margin (n = 77), decalcification (n = 45), or pericardial patch (n = 39). Cumulative follow-up was 480 patient-years, with a mean of 2.5 ± 1.5 years.
3: Mean age was 60 years, and 76.6% were men. In hospital mortality was 3.4% in group I and 0.0% in group II. Freedom from cardiac death at 5 years (by Kaplan-Meier estimation) was 83% vs 98% (p = 0.058). Freedom from moderate or severe aortic insufficiency at 5 years was 100% in group I vs 93% (95% confidence interval, 86% to 97%) in group II (p = 0.110). Seven patients required reoperation for aortic insufficiency or stenosis: repeat repair (n = 3), Ross procedure (n = 2), and biologicical aortic valve replacement (n = 2). Freedom from reoperation at 5 years was 96% (95% confidence interval, 76% to 99%) in group I vs 89% (95% confidence interval, 71% to 96%) in group II (p = 0.305).


###Response: Overall survival and freedom from reoperation after valve-sparing aortic root replacement, even with additional complex cusp repair, provides excellent midterm results. Low risk of valve-related complications and absence of anticoagulation therapy are distinctive advantages of this complex procedure.
