Article Abstract
Background: A peculiar subgroup of patients with partial or complete atrioventricular canal defect exhibits a spectrum of left-sided obstructions including right ventricular dominance and aortic coarctation. The association of atrioventricular canal defect with left-sided obstructions is found in several genetic syndromes; however, the molecular basis of nonsyndromic atrioventricular canal defect with aortic coarctation is still poorly understood. Although some candidate genes for nonsyndromic atrioventricular canal defect are known, a complex oligogenic inheritance determined in some cases by the co-occurrence of multiple variants has also been hypothesized.
Case Report: We describe a nonsyndromic infant with mesocardia with viscero-atrial situs solitus, partial atrioventricular canal defect, mild right ventricular dominance, and coarctation of the aorta. Next generation sequencing genetic testing revealed variants in two genes, GDF1 and NOTCH1, previously reported in association with atrioventricular canal defect and left-sided obstructive lesions, respectively.
Conclusion: The present report could support the hypothesis that the co-occurrence of cumulative variants may be considered as genetic predisposing risk factor for specific congenital heart defects.

Intra-operative predictors of left atrioventricular valve reoperation after repair of complete atrioventricular septal defect.

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.

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.

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been established as a key component in the management of patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction in addition to pharmacologic therapy. Several automatic algorithms have been developed to optimize the timing cycle settings in CRT, especially AV delay which was associated with improvement of the response to CRT. The present study aims to investigate whether the novel device-based SyncAV algorithm could elicit better synchrony and acute hemodynamic response.

Purpose: To develop and evaluate a dynamic, image-derived patient-specific physical simulation platform for the assessment of left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) repair strategies in pediatric patients with repaired atrioventricular canal defects.
Methods: 3D transesophageal echocardiographic images of two patients with regurgitant LAVVs were identified from an institutional database. Custom code in SlicerHeart was used to segment leaflets, define the annulus, and generate patient-specific valve molds.
