SummaryWe describe a rare type of atrioventricular septal defect with common atrioventricular orifice and malaligned atrial septum, the latter feature resulting in severe obstruction of the left atrial egress. Excision of the atrial septum and banding of the pulmonary trunk was performed at the age of thirteen months. Lung biopsy demonstrated marked medial hypertrophy with severe intimal fibrosis in the small pulmonary arteries and mild thickening of the pulmonary veins, considered contraindications for corrective surgery.

A technique for conversion of an intra-atrial baffle repair to an extracardiac repair is described for complex unroofed coronary sinus syndrome (including a complete atrioventricular septal defect) with connection of the left superior caval vein to the roof of the left-sided atrium. The left superior caval vein was divided distally and anastomosed to the right superior caval vein in an end-to-side fashion. In addition, the baffle in the left-sided atrium connecting the pulmonary veins with the left atrioventricular valve orifice was removed and the atria were septated. This extracardiac repair technique avoids the various disadvantages of the intra-atrial baffle technique such as creation of a small left atrium with low compliance.

Abstract Objective: Infants with complete atrioventricular septal defect occasionally accompany pulmonary hypertension; however, the pulmonary circulation can be altered by pulmonary vascular conditions as well as the left heart lesions. This study aimed to explore whether the left heart lesions were related to the pulmonary circulation among them. Methods: We performed echocardiography and cardiac catheterisation in 42 infants with complete atrioventricular septal defect and studied relationships between the pulmonary haemodynamic parameters and the left heart morphology. Results: Age and weight at preoperative evaluation were 65 days (47-114) (the median following interquartile range) and 5.5 kg (4.0-7.1), respectively. There were 27 individuals with Down syndrome. Gestational age was 38 weeks (37-39). Catheterisation showed mean pulmonary arterial pressure: 36 (29-46) mmHg, the ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow: 3.45 (2.79-4.98), pulmonary vascular resistance: 2.20 Wood units·m2 (1.53-3.65), and pulmonary arterial compliance: 2.78 (1.86-4.10) ml/Hg/m2. Echocardiography showed the Rastelli classification type A in 28 and type C in 14, moderate or severe left atrioventricular valve regurgitation in 19 patients (45%), atrioventricular valve index of 0.67 (0.56-0.79), left ventricular end-diastolic volume z score of 4.46 (1.96-7.78), and aortic valve diameter z score of −0.70 (−1.91 to 0.20). Multivariable regression analysis revealed that preoperative pulmonary vascular resistance was significantly correlated to gestational age (p = 0.002), and that preoperative pulmonary arterial compliance was significantly correlated to gestational age (p = 0.009) and Down syndrome (p = 0.036). Conclusions: The pulmonary circulation does not depend upon the presence of left heart lesions but gestational age and Down syndrome in infants with complete atrioventricular septal defect.
