ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) represent 4-7% of congenital cardiac malformations. Definitive early repair is favored over prior pulmonary artery banding and delayed definitive repair in many centers. The aim of this study was to analyze long-term outcomes following AVSD repair over a 21-year period.METHODS:
A total of 202 consecutive patients underwent surgical AVSD correction between June 1999 and December 2020. Surgery was performed using the double-patch technique. The study data were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. Primary outcomes were In-hospital mortality and overall long-term freedom from reoperation.RESULTS:
Median age at operation was 120 days (IQR 94-150), median weight was 5.0 kg (4.2-5.3). None of the patients died within the first 30 postoperative days. In-hospital mortality was 0.5% (1/202 patients). Median follow-up was 57 months (11-121). Overall freedom from reoperation at 5, 10 and 15 years was 91.8%, 86.9% and 86.9%, respectively.CONCLUSION:
AVSD repair with the double-patch technique is a safe and effective procedure with good early postoperative outcomes and low long-term reoperation rates.Palavras-chave
