Abstract:Background
Advances in the perioperative management and optimization of the timing of primary repair have gradually improved the early clinical outcome of surgical correction of atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs). However, the late outcome still remains compromised by the substantial risk of reoperation, of which mainly the development of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) dysfunction challenge the long-term survival and morbidity of these… Show more
