Results of Left Atrioventricular Valve Reoperations Following Previous Repair of Atrioventricular Septal Defects
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 06/19/09
Alsoufi B et al. - LAVVR results in significant clinical improvement and lasting recovery in ventricular chamber function and size. Valve repair offers survival advantage and should be aggressively attempted; however, it is only achievable in 50% of cases. Valve replacement is necessary in cases associated with complex LAVV morphology or following repair failure. At intermediate follow-up, patients continue to be at risk of major valve-related morbidity, requirement for re-intervention, and cardiac death.
