    New surgical techniques for atrio-ventricular canal malformations improved outcomes. Patients with complete and partial forms showed high survival rates and reduced mitral incompetence post-operation.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Atrio-ventricular canal malformations are complex congenital heart defects.
    • Surgical repair is challenging, with varying outcomes depending on the form (complete vs. partial).
    • Previous techniques have limitations in addressing valve function and residual defects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of novel surgical techniques for atrio-ventricular canal malformations.
    • To assess patient survival and functional outcomes after repair.
    • To compare the incidence of residual mitral incompetence with prior methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical repair of 20 patients (5 complete, 15 partial AV canal malformations) using new techniques.

  • Complete form repair involved a three-leaflet mitral valve concept with separate patches, valve attachment, no cleft sutures, subvalvular correction, and commissuroplasty.
  • Partial form repair included valvular/subvalvular repair and patch closure of the ostium primum defect.

    • Main Results:

    • All 20 patients survived the operation.
    • All patients achieved normal sinus rhythm post-surgery.
    • Residual mitral incompetence was less frequent compared to previous surgical techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • Novel surgical techniques offer improved outcomes for atrio-ventricular canal malformations.
    • These methods enhance patient survival and reduce residual mitral incompetence.
    • The described approach provides a viable option for complex congenital heart repairs.
