Abstract
A common atrioventricular valve (CAVV) presents a challenge in single-ventricle palliation (SVP) because of its propensity to leak, with CAVV regurgitation being an important risk factor for repeated operation and mortality. We propose a new technique of CAVV repair in the context of SVP. The method uses the techniques of complete repair of antrioventricular septal defect while maintaining free communication at atrial and ventricular levels necessary for single-ventricle physiology.
