Short-Term Mortality Early mortality 0~2% Dilated heart, significant mitral regurgitation are risk factors 9
Long-Term Mortality Possible risk factors Younger age (<1.5yo) Preoperative significant MR Survival adopted from Bowman JL, et al. Should repair of partial atrioventricular septal defect be delayed until later in childhood? Am J Cardiol 2014;114:463-467 10
Short-Term Morbidities Residual leak Mitral regurgitation 3% Complete heart eart block 2% LVOTO due to elongated LVOT 3% 11
Long-Term Morbidities Over 249 patients Survival-free of reoperation curve adopted from Bowman JL, et al. Should repair of partial atrioventricular septal defect be delayed until later in childhood?

13 Complete AVSD
Indications Failure to thrive Recurrent chest infection Congestive heart failure 1970s ~ early 1980s: Autopsy and clinical study revealed the high risk after the first year - 65% of untreated patients die by 1 year, 85% by 2 years and 96% by 5 years. Operate as soon as medical treatment fails < 6 months for Trisomy 21 < 1 year for others 14
Contraindication Eisenmenger Syndrome Predominant right-to-left shunt PVR > 8 Wood units/m 2 If PVR study shows a good response to pulmonary vasodilators, some may be apt for surgery. 15
Surgical Treatment - Overview Palliative - Pulmonary artery banding Corrective Single patch repair Two patch repair Modified single patch repair 16
Surgical Treatment - Palliative Pulmonary artery banding Previously employed as a two-stage strategy Should be avoided unless left with no choice - increase AV valve regurgitation - carries high mortality 15~25% 17
Surgical Treatment Corrective Corrective Single patch repair Two patch repair Modified single patch repair 18
Surgical Treatment General Consideration Conduction AV valve Closure of ventricular component Closure of atrial component 19
Surgical Treatment General Consideration Conduction stay on the right side AV valve Closure of ventricular component Closure of atrial component Adopted from Pacifico AD. Atrio-ventricular septal defect: Surgery for congenital heart defect, third edition. Eds. Stark JF, et al. John Wiley & Sons, 2006:373-386 20
Surgical Treatment General consideration Conduction AV valve more to the left Closure of ventricular component Closure of atrial component Adopted from Pacifico AD. Atrio-ventricular septal defect: Surgery for congenital heart defect, third edition. Eds. Stark JF, et al. John Wiley & Sons, 2006:373-386 21
Surgical Treatment Single patch repair Adopted from Pacifico AD. Atrio-ventricular septal defect: Surgery for congenital heart defect, third edition. Eds. Stark JF, et al. John Wiley & Sons, 2006:373-386 22
Surgical Treatment Two patch repair 2 3 4 1 1. Stay on the right side 2. Patch can be boat-shape 3. Height aims to be lower than annular level 4. Too short patch will cause leak at the edge 23 Adopted from Dekel H, et al. Repair of Atrioventricular Septal Defects: The 2-Patch Sandwich Technique. Operative techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 2015;20(1):63-74
1 2 1. Patch meets the annulus on the right side of crest 2. Suture line avoid edge of crest and AV node to the right side 24 Adopted from Dekel H, et al. Repair of Atrioventricular Septal Defects: The 2-Patch Sandwich Technique. Operative techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 2015;20(1):63-74
1 1 2 1. Mattress suture touch the annulus 2. Keep mattress suture not too wide - become crumpled and shortened 25 Adopted from Dekel H, et al. Repair of Atrioventricular Septal Defects: The 2-Patch Sandwich Technique. Operative techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 2015;20(1):63-74
1. Give more to the left 2. Location of the chordae can be used as a guide 3. Lesser and greater curvature of patch meet annulus 1 3 2 26 Adopted from Dekel H, et al. Repair of Atrioventricular Septal Defects: The 2-Patch Sandwich Technique. Operative techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 2015;20(1):63-74
1 1. Sometimes gap between RSL and RIL is big - pull RSL and RIL equally to zone of apposition and paste to septal patch 27 Adopted from Dekel H, et al. Repair of Atrioventricular Septal Defects: The 2-Patch Sandwich Technique. Operative techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 2015;20(1):63-74
Surgical Treatment Modified single patch 3 2 1. Drawing is exaggerated, need closer stitches 2. Some people take eptfe/dacron strip before autologous pericardium 3. Nunn suggested length to be 70%, some 80% of annular diameter 1 28 Adopted from Clarke A, et al. The simplified single patch repair of complete atrioventricular septal defect. Operative techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 2004;9(3):233-239
1 1. Well away to the right side of AV node - floor of CS is safe area 29 Adopted from Clarke A, et al. The simplified single patch repair of complete atrioventricular septal defect. Operative techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 2004;9(3):233-239

Conclusion AVSD represents a wide spectrum of intracardiac anomalies Partial AVSD are treated much like ASD. Complete AVSD should undergo operative repair in early period of life. Postoperative management centers on proactive treatment of pulmonary hypertension. 37
