Abstract:
Objective To review the outcomes of atrioventricular valve replacement in patients with functional single ventricle and evaluate risk factors for mortality.Methods Retrospectively reviewed our experience with atrioventricular valve (AVV replacement) in patients with functional single ventricle from January 2008 to December 2014.Outcome included mortality and valve-related complications.Results Thirteen patients required AVV replacement.Prosthetic valve type was St.Jude bileaflet mechanical mitral valve.Valve size ranged from 27 to 31 mm,including 27 mm in 2,29 mm in 7,and 31 mm in 4 patients.Median age at valve replacement was 4.5 years(range:1.2 years to 18.0 years).Concomitant procedures included bidirectional Glenn shunt in 3,pulmonary artery banding in 1,and repair of pulmonary vein stenosis in 1 patient.There were four early deaths with a perioperative mortality of 30.8％.Complications after AAV replacement included complete atrioventricuiar block in 1,intracerebral hemorrhage in 1 patient due to valve-related anticoagulation.No patient had perivalvular leakage.There was one late death during a mean follow-up of 3 years (range:0.5-5.0 years).Five-year Kaplan-Meier survival was 61.5％.Fisher exact probability test showed that lower weight(＜ 10 kg) at operation and prosthetic size/weight ratio ＞ 2.0 were risk factors for overall mortality.Of the survival patients,functional status is NYHA class Ⅰ in 3,class Ⅱ in 5.No patient developed valve-related complications.Conclusion Atrioventricular valve replacement can be performed in patients with functional single ventricle with acceptable mortality.Lower weight and increased prosthetic size/weight ratio at operation were significantly associated with worse survival.
