Operative technique. (A) Saline insufflation is used to assess left atrioventricular (AV) valve and plan closure of zone of apposition. (B) Pericardial patch is sutured in place to close atrial component of defect. This shows completed closure of zone of apposition. (C) Air is removed from left side of heart through suture line before tying knot. Coronary sinus remains draining to right atrium. (CS = coronary sinus; IVC = inferior vena cava; LAVV = left atrioventricular valve; RA = right atrium; RAVV = right atrioventricular valve; RUPV = right upper pulmonary vein; SVC = superior vena cava.)

Average age for patients who underwent repair of partial atrioventricular septal defect (ASVD) from 1990 to 2014 by 2-year intervals. Patients who were older than 7 years of age at the time of repair were considered late referrals and excluded from this analysis.

Median postoperative length of stay for patients undergoing partial atrioventricular septal defect (ASVD) repair by age quartile. The median hospital stay was 5 days (quartile 1 = 0–0.75 years, n = 22; quartile 2 = 0.75–1.5 years, n = 21; quartile 3 = 1.5–3.75 years, n = 22; and quartile 4 = >3.75 years, n = 21).

Number of reoperations for patients who had undergone repair of partial atrioventricular septal defect (ASVD) repair divided into 3 subgroups: left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO), left atrioventricular valve regurgitation/left atrioventricular valve stenosis (LAVVR/LAVVS), and pacemaker. Reoperations are subdivided into 4 age quartiles (quartile 1 = 0–0.75 years, n = 22; quartile 2 = 0.75–1.5 years, n = 21; quartile 3 = 1.5–3.75 years, n = 22; quartile 4 = >3.75 years, n = 21).

Degree of left atrioventricular valve regurgitation (LAVVR) for patients who underwent repair of partial atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) at most recent echocardiogram. Patients were grouped into 4 age quartiles (quartile 1 = 0–0.75 years, n = 22; quartile 2 = 0.75–1.5 years, n = 21; quartile 3 = 1.5–3.75 years, n = 22; quartile 4 = >3.75 years, n = 21).
