Biventricular repair of complete artioventricular septal defect associated with tetralogy of Fallot or double right ventricular outlets

Abstract

Objective To summarize the surgical results and experience of patients with complete atrioventricular septal defect associated with tetralogy of Fallot or double right ventricular outlets. Methods From April 2013 to June 2017, 10 patients with complete atrioventricular septal defect associated with tetralogy of Fallot or double right ventricular outlets underwent biventricular repair at Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center. Seven were male, and 3 were female. The age and body weight at surgery was 2 months to 13 years and 3.7-23.6 kg. Repair was performed with modified one-patch technique in 3 patients, modified two-patch technique in 6 patients, two-patch technique in 1 patient. Results There was no hospital mortality. The ICU stay and hospital stay after operation were 2~5 days and 7~10 days. The follow-up duration was 16 to 65 months. All patients were alive and free from left ventricular outlet obstruction. The left atrioventricular valve function were normal in 2 patients, mild regurgitation in 6 patients, moderate regurgitation in 1 patient and severe regurgitation in 1 patient. Conclusion The outcomes of biventricular repair for patients with complete atrioventricular septal defect associated with Tetralogy of Fallot or double right ventricular outlets were satisfied, and long-term follow-up was demanded.
