Implementing David Procedure in Latin America: Closing the Gap with High-Income Countries

Can the David procedure achieve outcomes comparable to those reported by leading centers worldwide?

A new study from Colombia suggests the answer is yes.

Following the implementation of a valve-sparing aortic root replacement (David procedure) program, investigators reported 0.9% 30-day mortality, 99% one-year survival, and 100% freedom from reintervention and endocarditis. The findings demonstrate that, with dedicated expertise, outcomes in Latin America can match those of high-income countries.

The study highlights the potential of aortic valve preservation to reduce the need for prosthetic valves and long-term anticoagulation—an especially valuable strategy for patients in middle-income countries.

It is therefore opinion-based and should be classified as LOE C, not B1
2-This opinion was shaped by influential cardiologists who published a position paper earlier this yr

Hot off the press today!
Should we be more cautious about long term results of TAVI compared with surgery in low and intermediate risk patients ?
