Does open heart surgery under deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest improve hemodynamics in infants with complete common atrioventricular canal?

Population

14 infants with complete common atrioventricular canal (CCAVC)

Intervention

Open heart surgery under deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest

Outcome

Postoperative hemodynamics including cardiac size, function, residual shunts, mitral valve function, and pulmonary pressuressurrogate

Surgical repair of complete common atrioventricular canal in infancy normalizes cardiac size and function, with excellent hemodynamic outcomes in survivors.
