Outcomes of Common Atrioventricular Valve Repair in Patients With Single-Ventricle Physiology　― Indication, Timing and Repair Techniques ―

Abstract

these patients and evaluate the effectiveness of the bivalvation technique. Methods Patients The institutional ethics committee approved this study. We reviewed the medical documents of 546 patients who underwent single-ventricle palliative surgeries from January 2007 to April 2018 at Fuwai Hospital, Beijing, China: 6 patients with severe pulmonary stenosis and 38 patients with pulmonary atresia were identified; 15 patients underwent banding and 20 patients underwent Blalock-Taussig shunt were found as stage I palliative surgeries. A total of 54 patients were diagnosed with CAVV, and 37 of them underwent single-ventricle palliative surgery combined with CAAV repair. Patients with a balanced CAVV who

Long-term outcomes of atrioventricular septal defect and single ventricle: A multicenter study

“…Valve replacement in patients with single ventricle does not have a favorable prognosis, although it could be the last option. [16][17][18][19] In our study, a valve replacement was performed in only 2 patients as a first procedure, and both patients died at follow-up. A valve replacement was performed in 3 patients as AVV reoperation.…”

Atrioventricular valve surgery: Restoration of the fibrous skeleton of the heart

“…He and colleagues 32 reported 37 patients who underwent repair of common AVV between 2007 and 2018. The bridge technique was used in 51% (19/37) of patients.…”
