Biventricular repair using subvalvular techniques for unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect

Abstract

We report the case of a 19-month-old girl with a right-dominant unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect and severe right-sided atrioventricular valve regurgitation who underwent biventricular repair using basal chordae resection, artificial chordae reconstruction and a left-sided atrioventricular valvuloplasty. At 14-month postoperative follow-up, the patient had minimal heart failure, gained weight and adapted to biventricular circulation.
