Article Synopsis
- The study examines the outcomes of left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) operations in patients with atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) over a 20-year period, highlighting the challenges and complications involved.
- Out of 843 patients with repaired AVSDs, 59 (7.3%) underwent LAVV operations, with notable rates of reoperation and valve replacement among them, particularly in those who had complex repairs.
- Key risk factors for adverse events included having a lower body weight and needing early LAVV surgery, while cleft closure during initial surgery appeared to provide some protective benefits.
Background: Single ventricle palliation may be performed in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries due to hypoplasia of 1 ventricle or anatomic complexity rendering biventricular repair unfeasible. There have been only a few small studies of the outcomes of single ventricle palliation in the setting of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
Methods: A multicenter, international, retrospective cohort study of patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries undergoing single ventricle palliation was conducted in 29 tertiary hospitals in 6 countries from 1990 to 2018.
Introduction: Overweight and obesity are a global health epidemic and many attempts have been made to address the rising prevalence. In March 2021 the UK government announced £100 million of additional funding for weight management provisions. Of this, £30.
