Objectives: Parachute left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) complicates atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) repair. We evaluate outcomes of AVSD patients with parachute LAVV and identify risk factors for adverse outcomes.
Methods: We evaluated all patients undergoing repair of AVSD with parachute LAVV from 2012 to 2021. The primary outcome was a composite of time-to-death, LAVV reintervention and development of greater than or equal to moderate LAVV dysfunction (greater than or equal to moderate LAVV stenosis and/or LAVV regurgitation). Event-free survival for the composite outcome was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology and competing risks analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify predictors of the primary outcome.
Results: A total of 36 patients were included with a median age at repair of 4 months (interquartile range 2.3-5.5 months). Over a median follow-up of 2.6 years (interquartile range 1.0-5.6 years), 6 (17%) patients underwent LAVV reintervention. All 6 patients who underwent LAVV reintervention had right-dominant AVSD. Sixteen patients (44%) met the composite outcome, and all did so within 2 years of initial repair. Transitional AVSD (versus complete), prior single-ventricle palliation, leaving the cleft completely open and greater than or equal to moderate preoperative LAVV regurgitation were associated with a higher risk of LAVV reintervention in univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, leaving the cleft completely open was associated with the composite outcome.
Conclusions: Repair of AVSD with parachute LAVV remains a challenge with a significant burden of LAVV reintervention and dysfunction in medium-term follow-up. Unbalanced, right-dominant AVSDs are at higher risk for LAVV reintervention. Leaving the cleft completely open might independently predict poor overall outcomes and should be avoided when possible.

Background: Left atrioventricular valvular regurgitation (LAVVR) recurrence after partial and transitional atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) repair is the main risk factor associated with reoperation or mortality. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors associated with the recurrence of LAVVR after surgical repair of transitional and partial AVSD at a single institution.
Methods: A hundred and fifty-seven patients who underwent anatomical repair for partial and transitional AVSD from January 2013 to December 2021 were included in our institutional database.

Objective: Acute outcomes after atrioventricular canal defects (AVCD) surgery in the current era are excellent; yet despite surgical advances, ∼15% of patients require future left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) repair. Among patients with AVC who undergo LAVV repair after primary AVC surgery, we sought to characterize the durability of these repairs. Specifically, we aimed to determine predictors for reintervention following an LAVV repair in patients with repaired AVCD, with a focus on postoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Surgical options for coarctation of aorta (CoA) with atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) include single-stage repair vs. staged approach with neonatal CoA repair and delayed AVSD repair. The durability of left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) function after neonatal repair is questioned, and the optimal approach remains controversial.

Background: Despite the improved outcome in complete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) repair, reoperations for left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) dysfunction are common. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fresh untreated autologous pericardium for ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure on atrioventricular valve function and compare the results with the use of treated bovine pericardial patch material.
Methods: Clinical and echocardiographic data were collected of patients with complete AVSD with their VSD closed with either untreated autologous pericardial or treated bovine pericardial patch material between January 1, 1996, and December 31, 2003.
