Fig 1 Flow-chart of surgical management and outcomes in all 206 patients with Down and non-Down syndrome. (AVSD = atrioventricular septal defects; BCPA = bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis; D = Down; DKS = Damus-Kaye-Stansel; ND = non-Down; SP = systemic-to-pulmonary.)

Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier plot of survival after biventricular repair or definitive monoventricular palliation. The numbers at risk for the whole population are shown. Down (triangles); non-Down (squares). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2004 78, 666-672DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.12.021)
Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier plot of survival after biventricular repair or definitive monoventricular palliation among the different subgroups of patients. The numbers at risk for the whole population are shown. (cAVSD = complete atrioventricular septal defect; DKS = Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation.)
