The Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 06/23/09
Backer CL et al. - The modified single-patch technique is now the best technique available for the repair in patients with complete atrioventricular septal defect. This approach is associated with very low operative mortality, it is easily applied to small infants, and the incidence of reoperation for left AV valve insufficiency and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is significantly lower than previously reported, for either the classic single-patch technique or the two-patch technique.
