Are We Getting Better?: Ongoing Challenges of Atrioventricular Valve Repair in Children With Single Ventricle Physiology
Patients with single ventricles who required AVVr, particularly before bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, have poorer transplant-free survival with no meaningful improvement over the past 2 decades. Small weight and morphologic right ventricle were strongly associated with increased mortality. Alternative treatment strategies should be considered for this high-risk subgroup.
