    Repairing partial atrioventricular canal (PAVC) in adults is a low-risk procedure. Surgical repair can significantly improve functional status and longevity in adult PAVC patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Adult Congenital Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Partial atrioventricular canal (PAVC) is a congenital heart defect.
    • Adults with PAVC often present with varying degrees of functional limitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical repair for partial atrioventricular canal (PAVC) in adult patients.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of PAVC repair in improving functional status and long-term survival.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 52 adult patients (≥20 years) with PAVC treated between 1955 and 1981.
    • Analysis of preoperative clinical data, ECG findings, cardiac catheterization results, and surgical outcomes.
    • Assessment of operative mortality, late mortality, functional status (NYHA class), and need for permanent pacemaker implantation.

    Main Results:

    • 47 patients underwent PAVC repair, with 6.4% operative mortality (3 deaths).
    • All surviving patients improved to NYHA functional class I or II.
    • No patients required permanent pacemaker implantation post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical repair of PAVC in adults is associated with low operative risk.
    • PAVC repair can lead to significant improvements in functional status and potentially enhance patient longevity.
