Abstract
Complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD) can lead to the development of pulmonary obstructive vascular disease due to high pulmonary blood flow and pressures. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in pulmonary hemodynamics with aging and with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in children with CAVSD. We retrospectively evaluated 137 children (94% with trisomy 21, median age of 195 (25-2963) days, 58.4% female) with CASVD referred to cardiac catheterization from January 2000 to December 2020. Those with associated congenital heart disease, except PDA, had been excluded. They were divided into three age terciles (T1, T2, and T3). Aging was directly associated with higher mean (T1: 34.2 ± 9.1; T2: 37.1 ± 5.8; T3: 42 ± 10.6 mmHg, p < 0.001) and diastolic (T1: 19.4 ± 5.3; T2 21.6 ± 5.0; T3: 26.0 ± 9.5 mmHg, P < 0.001) pulmonary arterial pressures, and with higher pulmonary vascular resistance (T1: 3.24 ± 1.69, T2: 3.47 ± 1.19; T3: 4.49 ± 3.91 Wu.m2, p = 0.023). This resulted in a loss of eligibility for anatomical correction, which became evident only after 300 days of age. PDA was associated with a higher mean (37.2 [35.9; 38.5] vs. 41.3 [37.5; 45.0] mmHg, p = 0.049) and diastolic (21.7 [20.7; 22.6] vs. 26.4 [24.1; 29.0] mmHg, p = 0.001) pulmonary pressure, and resistor-compliance time (0.28 [0.26; 0.29] vs. 0.36 [0.31; 0.40], p = 0.001) after adjusting for age and sex. In children with CAVSD, aging was associated with worsening of pulmonary vascular hemodynamics, particularly when PDA was associated, resulting in loss of eligibility for anatomical correction after 10 months of age as the first surgical option.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study compared the mortality, left atrioventricular valve-related reoperation, and left atrioventricular valve competence in symptomatic neonates and small infants who underwent staged repair incorporating pulmonary artery banding or primary repair for complete atrioventricular septal defect. METHODS Patients weighing less than 4.0 kg at the time of undergoing staged (n = 37) or primary (n = 23) repair for balanced complete atrioventricular septal defect between 1999 and 2022 were reviewed. The mean follow-up period was 9.1 years. Freedom from moderate or greater left atrioventricular valve regurgitation was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The staged group included smaller children (median weight, 2.9 vs 3.7 kg) and a higher proportion of neonates (41% vs 4%). All patients in the staged group survived pulmonary artery banding and underwent intracardiac repair (median weight, 6.8 kg). After pulmonary artery banding, the severity of left atrioventricular valve regurgitation improved in 10 of 12 patients (83%) without left atrioventricular valve anomaly who had mild or greater left atrioventricular valve regurgitation and a left atrioventricular valve Z score greater than 0. Although survival and freedom from left atrioventricular valve-related reoperation at 15 years (P = .195 and .602, respectively) were comparable between the groups, freedom from moderate or greater left atrioventricular valve regurgitation at 15 years was higher in the staged group (P = .026). CONCLUSIONS Compared with primary repair, staged repair for complete atrioventricular septal defect in children weighing less than 4.0 kg resulted in comparable survival and reoperation rates and better left atrioventricular valve competence. Pulmonary artery banding may mitigate secondary left atrioventricular valve regurgitation unless a structural valve abnormality exists. Selective deferred intracardiac repair beyond the neonatal and small-infancy period may still play an important role in low-weight patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The appropriate age and weight for surgical repair of atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is an area of controversy. We aimed to study the effect of weight and age at the time of surgical repair for complete AVSD in children less than 2 years of age on postoperative outcomes. A retrospective data review was performed for patients who underwent the AVSD repair from 2012 to 2019 at our institutions. Our primary outcome was the postoperative in-hospital length of stay (LOS). Secondary outcomes included total positive pressure ventilation (PPV), ventilation time, maximum vasoactive–inotropic score (max VIS), and other postoperative complications.
Results
The study included fifty patients. The median age was 191 days, and the median weight was 4.38 kg at the time of surgery. Weight < 4 kg was associated with longer PPV time and postoperative in-hospital LOS (p value of 0.033 and 0.015, respectively). Additionally, they had higher max VIS at 24 h and 48 h than the other groups with bodyweight 4–5.9 kg or ≥ 6 kg (p value of 0.05 and 0.027, respectively). Patients with older age or lower weight at operation had a longer in-hospital LOS and total length of PPV after surgery. There were no postoperative in-hospital deaths.
Conclusions
Older age and lower weight at the time of surgical repair of atrioventricular septal defect could be independent predictors of prolonged postoperative in-hospital length of stay and total length of positive pressure ventilation.

The effect of surgical technique, age, and Trisomy 21 on early outcome of surgical management of complete atrioventricular canal defect. Cardiol Young 2022; 32:869-873.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal timing, surgical technique, and the influence of Trisomy 21 on the outcome of surgical repair of Complete Atrioventricular Canal Defect remains uncertain. We reviewed our experience in the repair of CAVC to identify the influence of these factors on operative outcomes. METHODS A prospective study included 70 patients, who underwent repair of CAVC at our institute between July, 2016 and October, 2019. Primary endpoint was mortality and the secondary endpoint was a degree of left atrioventricular valve regurgitation. RESULTS No significant difference was noted between patients operated on, at the first 6 months of age versus later, regarding mortality or LAVV regurgitation. Surgical repair by modified single-patch technique showed a significant reduction in bypass time (71.13 ± 13.507 min versus 99.19 ± 27.092 min, p-value = 0.001). Compared to closure of cleft only, posterior annuloplasty used for repair of LAVV resulted in significant reduction in the occurrence of post-operative valve regurgitation during the early period (LAVV 2 + 43 versus 7 %, p-value = 0.03) and at 6 months of follow-up (LAVV 2 + 35.4 versus 0 %, p-value = 0.01), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Early intervention, in the first 6 months in patients with CAVC by surgical repair gives comparable acceptable results to later repair; Trisomy 21 was not found to be a risk factor for early intervention. Repair of common AV valve by cleft closure with posterior LAVV annuloplasty showed better results with a significant decrease in post-operative LAVV regurgitation and early mortality in comparison to the closure of cleft only.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Repair of complete atrioventricular septal defect (cAVSD) is achieved with low mortality. However, there is a high rate of reoperation on the left atrioventricular valve (LAVV), which is often attributed to non-closure of the cleft. Although non-closure of the cleft has been reported to be a risk factor for reoperation, no randomized-controlled or propensity-matched trials have ever been performed. We investigated the effect of cleft closure on outcomes following cAVSD repair. METHODS We reviewed 455 patients who underwent cAVSD repair between 1990 and 2019. To determine the effect of cleft closure, propensity score matching was performed on risk factors for reoperation following cAVSD repair. RESULTS Median age was 3.6 months (mean 9.6±20.4), median weight was 4.3 kg (mean 4.7±4.3kg) and 41.9% (191/455) were male. Early mortality was 2.9% (13/455), and survival was 89.8±1.9% at 20 years. Early reoperation was a risk factor for mortality (p=0.004). Freedom from reoperation was 72.5±4.0% at 20 years. Freedom from LAVV reoperation was 74.1±4.0% at 20 years. Preoperative severe LAVV regurgitation (p<0.001) and early postoperative moderate or greater LAVV regurgitation (p=0.007) were risk factors for reoperation, while trisomy 21 (p=0.03) and recent era of surgery (p=0.02) were protective. Propensity score matching yielded 106 pairs. There were no differences in long-term survival (p=0.71) or reoperation (p=0.26) between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Repair of cAVSD can be achieved with low mortality and good long-term survival, however, the reoperation rate remains high. Similar freedom from reoperation can be achieved with or without closure of the LAVV cleft.

Abstract
The adult congenital heart diseases (ACHD) population is exceeding the pediatric congenital heart diseases (CHD) population and is progressively expanding each year, representing more than 90% of patients with CHD. Of these, about 75% have undergone surgical and/or percutaneous intervention for palliation or correction. Autopsy can be a very challenging procedure in ACHD patients. The approach and protocol to be used may vary depending on whether the pathologists are facing native disease without surgical or percutaneous interventions, but with various degrees of cardiac remodeling, or previously palliated or corrected CHD. Moreover, interventions for the same condition have evolved over the last decades, as has perioperative myocardial preservations and postoperative care, with different long-term sequelae depending on the era in which patients were operated on. Careful clinicopathological correlation is, thus, required to assist the pathologist in performing the autopsy and reaching a diagnosis regarding the cause of death. Due to the heterogeneity of the structural abnormalities, and the wide variety of surgical and interventional procedures, there are no standard methods for dissecting the heart at autopsy. In this paper, we describe the most common types of CHDs that a pathologist could encounter at autopsy, including the various types of surgical and percutaneous procedures and major pathological manifestations. We also propose a practical systematic approach to the autopsy of ACHD patients.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
To compare the long-term performance of the Nunn and 2-patch techniques for the repair of complete atrioventricular septal defects.
METHODS
Between January 1995 and December 2015, a total of 188 patients (Nunn n = 41; 2-patch n = 147) were identified from hospital databases. Univariable Cox regression was performed to calculate the risk of reintervention in each group. Propensity score matching was used to balance the Nunn group and the 2-patch group.
RESULTS
Baseline characteristics including age at surgery, weight, trisomy 21, other cardiac anomalies, previous operations and preoperative atrioventricular valve regurgitation did not differ between the 2 groups. Overall, there was no difference in mortality between the 2 groups (P = 0.43). Duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and myocardial ischaemia time were 29 min (P < 0.001) and 28 min (P < 0.001) longer, respectively, in the 2-patch group. Median follow-up was 10.8 years (2–21 years). Unadjusted Cox regression did not reveal a significant difference in the risk of reoperation for either group 9 years after initial surgery [hazard ratio (HR) (Nunn) 0.512, 95% confidence interval 0.176–1.49; Nunn 89%; 2-patch 82%]. This finding was reiterated from Cox regression performed on the propensity-matched sample (31 pairs). The probability of freedom from moderate or worse left atrioventricular valve regurgitation or left ventricular outflow obstruction was similar in the 2 groups.
CONCLUSIONS
The Nunn and 2-patch techniques are comparable in terms of the long-term mortality and probability of freedom from reoperation, moderate or severe left atrioventricular valve regurgitation and left ventricular outflow obstruction. However, the duration of CPB and myocardial ischaemia is longer in the 2-patch group.

This review discusses the management of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs). There are several types of VSDs: perimembranous, supracristal, atrioventricular septal, and muscular. The indications for closure are moderate to large VSDs with enlarged left atrium and left ventricle or elevated pulmonary artery pressure (or both) and a pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio greater than 2:1. Surgical closure is recommended for large perimembranous VSDs, supracristal VSDs, and VSDs with aortic valve prolapse. Large muscular VSDs may be closed by percutaneous techniques. A large number of devices have been used in the past for VSD occlusion, but currently Amplatzer Muscular VSD Occluder is the only device approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for clinical use. A hybrid approach may be used for large muscular VSDs in small babies. Timely intervention to prevent pulmonary vascular obstructive disease (PVOD) is germane in the management of these babies. There are several types of AVSDs: partial, transitional, intermediate, and complete. Complete AVSDs are also classified as balanced and unbalanced. All intermediate and complete balanced AVSDs require surgical correction, and early repair is needed to prevent the onset of PVOD. Surgical correction with closure of atrial septal defect and VSD, along with repair and reconstruction of atrioventricular valves, is recommended. Palliative pulmonary artery banding may be considered in babies weighing less than 5 kg and those with significant co-morbidities. The management of unbalanced AVSDs is more complex, and staged single-ventricle palliation is the common management strategy. However, recent data suggest that achieving two-ventricle repair may be a better option in patients with suitable anatomy, particularly in patients in whom outcomes of single-ventricle palliation are less than optimal. The majority of treatment modes in the management of VSDs and AVSDs are safe and effective and prevent the development of PVOD and cardiac dysfunction.
