Modified single-patch technique for complete atrioventricular septal defect. (A) Four everting pericardial pledget stitches (Polypropylene 5/0) are placed at the coaptation site of each of the newly created atrioventricular valve leaflets and then fixed under tension to provide a better exposure of the ventricular septal defect; (B) the patch plication towards the LAVV, using a mattress suture, creating a double valvular patch parallel to the valvular plane; (C) the free edge of the LAVV sutured to the plicated patch component; (D) the right atrioventricular is attached in the same line with the LAVV. LAVV, left atrioventricular valve; RAVV, right atrioventricular valve.
