What are the long-term outcomes of common atrioventricular valve plasty in Fontan candidates with functional single ventricle?
Common atrioventricular valve plasty in patients with functional single ventricle remains challenging, but aggressive surgical intervention allows a majority of patients to complete the Fontan operation.
Misumi et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Functional single ventricle with common atrioventricular valve regurgitation (n=38). Common atrioventricular valve (CAVV) plasty was evaluated on Actuarial survival and freedom from CAVV replacement. Common atrioventricular valve plasty in Fontan candidates with functional single ventricle yielded 10-year actuarial survival of 67% and freedom from valve replacement of 75%.
