Since the description of surgery for patent ductus arteriosus in late 1930s, an innumerable
number of advances have taken place in the management of congenital heart defects …

This review article will guide the reader through the basics of echocardiographic
assessment of congenital left to right shunts in both paediatric and adult age groups. After …

Objective The exact incidence and risk factors for reoperation in partial and transitional
atrioventricular septal defects are unclear. The goal of this study was to assess risk factors …

Background: Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is a cardiac malformation that accounts
for up to 5% of total congenital heart disease, occurring with high frequency in people with …

Objective Partial atrioventricular septal defect (pAVSD) is usually repaired between 2 and 4

Abstract Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD) is a rare congenital heart defect (CHD) often
associated with genetic syndromes, most commonly Down syndrome (DS). Over the last four …

Limited data are available on long-term outcome after repair of partial atrioventricular septal
defects (pAVSD) in adults. We sought to review our experience. Between January 1, 1957 …

OBJECTIVES Our goal was to investigate the outcome of the left atrioventricular valve
(LAVV) after repair of atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs) by analysing the mechanisms …

Background Partial atrioventricular canal defects (PAVC) are preferred to be repaired when
diagnosed and before an operation would interfere with school. There were rare previous …

Our aim was to evaluate the total burden of reoperations after previous repair for
atrioventricular septal defects, including long-term survival and identify risk factors for …
