Successful Repair of Complete Atrio-ventricular Septal Defect at the Beginning of the Second Decade
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complete atrio-ventricular septal defects (CAVSD) are present in about 3% of children born with congenital heart pathologies. They usually require early surgical correction, mostly in infancy, and surgery is considered to be the gold standard. It is unlikely that anyone would survive beyond the first years without severe morbidity. However, we report a case of a Pakistani girl who underwent successful surgical repair of CAVSD at the age of 11.

متن کاملSurgical repair of complete atrio-ventricular canal: one more approach?
Under a new name (the ’one-and-half patch’ technique) [1], the authors describe an intermediate technique (between those described at 1 and 2, below) for the surgical treatment of complete atrio-ventricular canal (CAVC) or atrio-ventricular septal defect (AVSD)—with a patch under the superior bridging leaflet (SBL) and direct attachment to the ventricular crest of the defect under the inferior ...
متن کاملRepair Of The Left Atrio-Ventricular Valve In Atrio-Ventricular Septal Defect
The operative mortality for atrio-ventricular septal defect (AVSD) has fallen dramatically over the last 15 years as the preferred age of surgery has fallen. For the survivor, the long-term function of the left atrio ventricular valve (LAVV) is crucial in determining quality of life and to avoid re-operation. It is now well established that the zone of apposition (‘cleft’) between the superior ...
متن کاملOne-stage neonatal corrective repair for d-transposition of the great arteries and complete atrio-ventricular canal.
Association of d-transposition of the great arteries and complete atrio-ventricular canal constitutes an uncommon and complex cardiac anomaly usually associated with poor prognosis. We report our experience on one-stage neonatal repair for d-transposition of the great arteries and complete atrio-ventricular canal. Between August 1997 and 2005, four patients (two males and two females) underwent...
متن کاملRight-sided Infective Endocarditis with Multiple Large Vegetations in a Case of Ventricular Septal Defect: A Case Report
Herein, we present the case of a 10-year-old child suffering from right-sided infective endocarditis with ventricular septal defect. Echocardiography revealed multiple rare large vegetations on the pulmonary valve extending into pulmonary artery along with a large vegetation over the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve.
