[Surgical management of atrioventricular valve regurgitation in functional single ventricle].
Objective: To evaluate the early- and mid-term outcomes of surgical atrioventricular valve (AVV) intervention in patients with functional single ventricle (FSV). Methods: The clinical data of 40 consecutive FSV patients who underwent surgical AVV intervention between January 2008 and December 2017 at Department of Cardiac Surgery, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University were reviewed retrospectively. There were 25 male and 15 female patients. ⋯ Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that common AVV (HR=3.53, 95% CI: 1.63-7.67, P=0.020) was the prognosis factors for AVV reoperation. Conclusions: The early- and mid-term outcomes of surgical AVV intervention in FSV patients are not satisfactory. The mortality and reoperation rate are still high, and common AVV predicts the AVV reoperation after the initial surgical intervention.
