Abstract:
We present the case of a 19-day-old girl with incomplete atrioventricular septal defect, muscular ventricular septal defect, and severe left atrioventricular valve regurgitation. We attempted biventricular repair with left atrioventricular valve repair; however, we could not control the regurgitation. Moreover, the commercially available prosthetic valve was too large to implant. Thus we switched intraoperatively to a univentricular repair. We successfully performed patch closure of the left atrioventricular valve (Starnes procedure), Damus-Kaye-Stansel anastomosis, and a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt.
