Valve-sparing aortic root replacement
Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (also known as the David procedure) is a cardiac surgery procedure which is used to treat Aortic aneurysms and to prevent Aortic dissection.[1] It involves replacement of the aortic root without replacement of the aortic valve. Two similar procedures were developed, one by Sir Magdi Yacoub,[2] and another by Tirone David.

gollark: It's not deployed yet.
gollark: Any more prefix suggestions?
gollark: I updated the apioform algorithm.
gollark: Actually, not all GTech™ apinators do.
gollark: Well, once we have one of the desired type an GTech™ apinator/apiogenesis device can easily duplicate it.
