چکیده

Between March 1955 and March 1981, 52 adult patients (age 20 years or older) with partial atrioventricular canal (PAVC) were examined at the Mayo Clinic. Forty patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class I or II. The ECG showed right bundle branch block with left-axis deviation in 48, first-degree atrioventricular block in 33 and atrial fibrillation in nine. Preoperative catheterization was done in 37 patients; the mean pulmonary resistance index was 2.8 U.m2, and the mean pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio was 3.0. Forty-seven patients underwent operation; two required mitral valve replacement. There were three operative deaths (6.4% operative mortality) and two late deaths. All surviving patients were in NYHA class I or II. No patient required subsequent permanent pacemaker implantation. We conclude that repair of PAVC in adults may be performed at low risk and may improve patient longevity and functional status.

Combination of Left Ventricular Noncompaction and Partial Atrioventricular Canal Defect in a 21-Year-Old Male: A Case Report

INTRODUCTION Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is classified as a genetic cardiomyopathy characterized by a progressive systolic dysfunction. It may occur alone or in association with congenital cardiac anomalies. The combination of left ventricular noncompaction with partial atrioventricular canal defect is rare and has not, to our knowledge, been described previously. CASE PRESENTATION ...

Mirror Image Gerbode or Partial Atrioventricular Canal Defect?

Gebode defect, that can accurately be treated surgical repair, is defined as a true communication between left ventricle and right atrium. A 74-year-old woman with a worsening history of ortophnea and peripheral edema was hospitalised. A communication between right atrium and left ventricle was diagnosed using transeusophageal echocardiography. The defect was repaired and mitral valve was repla...

Repair of Double Orifice Left AV Valve (DOLAVV) with Endocardial Cushion Defect in Adult

Double orifice left atrioventricular valve (DOLAVV) or double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly manifesting either as an isolated lesion (mitral stenosis or mitral insufficiency) or in association with other congenital cardiac defects. Signs of mitral valve disease are usually present along with the symptoms of associated coexistent congenital heart diseases. Mitr...

Real-time wide-angle sector echocardiography: atrioventricular canal defects.

Real-time 800 phased-array two-dimensional sector echocardiography was used in 44 patients with atrioventricular (AV) canal defect. Anatomic details were surgically confirmed in 33. The apex view allowed visualization of atrial and ventricular portions of complete AV canal defects, with the common AV valve structures between the defects. The apex view also allowed us to differentiate divided an...
