ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 76-year-old woman with an incomplete atrioventricular septal defect and severe congestive heart failure who underwent surgical repair. Surgical intervention involved mitral valve repair and patch closure of the ostium primum defect, resulting in a favorable postoperative course. Successful outcomes support surgery as a reasonable treatment option owing to its significant improvement in postoperative quality of life, even in elderly patients with left atrioventricular valve degeneration.
