Summary

A retrospective analysis of 55 patients who underwent replacement of the left atrioventricular valve following surgery for atrioventricular septal defect with separate right and left atrioventricular valves or with a common valvar orifice has revealed a marked decrease in the need for valvar replacement over time. Between 1983 and 1987, the incidence of replacement following repair has been 3% in infants. Overall early mortality for the entire series, extending from 1970 to 1987, was 22%. Mortality in the first year of life was 58%, which was significantly greater than mortality beyond one year of age (14%, p<0.01). Obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract was a frequent incremental risk factor for death during infancy. The incidence of complete heart block (25%) is disappointingly high, and may reflect distortion of the left atrioventricular junction in an attempt to place as large a prosthesis as possible. The incidence of complete heart block has not decreased with time. These results confirm the desirability of secondary valvoplasty procedures to enable a child to be larger before ultimate replacement of the valve is required.
