Objective: Although outcomes of repair of complete atrioventricular septal defect (cAVSD) have improved in recent years, the burden of reoperation on the left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) remains high. We investigated predictors of LAVV reoperation on the intra-operative echocardiogram that may help guide surgical decision making.
Methods: All patients who underwent repair of cAVSD at the Royal Children's Hospital from 2010 to 2020 were included in the study.

A 13-year-old female Persian cat with a heart murmur presented with dyspnea. Thoracic radiography revealed pleural effusion and dilation of peripheral pulmonary vessels. Echocardiography showed significant enlargement of the right atrium and ventricle and left atrial appendage; an atrial septal defect (ASD) near the atrioventricular valves; and a septum-like structure below the left atrial appendage.

Objectives: To assess the surgical outcomes of atrioventricular septal defect associated with Tetralogy of Fallot (AVSD)-TOF repair performed at 2 specialized cardiac centers.
Methods: From May 2012 to December 2024, 20 patients diagnosed with AVSD-TOF who underwent surgical repair were included.
Results: The median age at the time of surgical repair was 13 months, with a median weight of 8.

Partial atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is a congenital heart anomaly that typically manifests in childhood and rarely presents in elderly patients. However, this anomaly can lead to hemodynamically significant cardiopulmonary complications when left untreated. In this report, we present a case of a 68-year-old male patient who presented with symptoms of heart failure and atrial flutter and was found to have partial AVSD incidentally discovered by echocardiography.
