Successful correction of a complete form of atrioventricular canal associated with tetralogy of Fallot: case report

C Zavanella et al. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 1977 Aug.

Abstract

This is the third reported case of successful correction of a complete form of atrioventricular (AV) canal associated with tetralogy of Fallot. The surgical mortality rate from this combination is high, in part due to failure to recognize the associated anomaly and to completely close the ventricular septal defect. This successful correction was accomplished by giving the ventricular portion of the patch more width and by suturing it from both the atrium and ventricle. This patient reported herein is doing well 6 months after the operation.
