Nine patients with complete atrioventricular canal and tetralogy of Fallot underwent intracardiac repair of both anomalies between 1982 and 1989. The ages of the patients ranged from 6 months to 7 years. Six of the 9 had one or more previous systemic-pulmonary artery shunts. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed diagnostic characteristics of both malformations in all patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by cardiac catheterization and cineangiography. The ventricular septal defect was repaired by a combined right atrial and ventricular approach in every patient. Outflow tract reconstruction was performed with the use of a transannular patch (4), infundibular patch (4), and a valved conduit (1). There were no hospital deaths. Meningitis was responsible for the death of a patient 2 years after repair. We recommend early palliation, complete repair in those older than 4 or 5 years, surgical technique depending on the anatomical findings, combined atrial and ventricular approach, 2 separate patches to close the ventricular septal defect in required cases, adjusted correction of the right ventricular outflow tract, and careful postoperative care.

D004694 Endocardial Cushion Defects A spectrum of septal defects involving the ATRIAL SEPTUM; VENTRICULAR SEPTUM; and the atrioventricular valves (TRICUSPID VALVE; BICUSPID VALVE). These defects are due to incomplete growth and fusion of the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS which are important in the formation of two atrioventricular canals, site of future atrioventricular valves.

D013771 Tetralogy of Fallot A combination of congenital heart defects consisting of four key features including VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECTS; PULMONARY STENOSIS; RIGHT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY; and a dextro-positioned AORTA. In this condition, blood from both ventricles (oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor) is pumped into the body often causing CYANOSIS.
