Contemporary outcomes of complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD) repair, particularly for defects with associated abnormalities, is unclear. The goal of this study is to report an all-inclusive experience of CAVSD repair using a consistent surgical approach. All patients undergoing CAVSD repair between 1995 and 2016 at our institution were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups: isolated and complex (tetralogy of Fallot, aortic arch repair, double outlet right ventricle, and total anomalous pulmonary venous return). Survival and reoperation were analyzed using log-rank test and Gray's test, respectively. Multivariable analysis was performed with Cox regression. Overall, 406 patients underwent repair: 350 (86%) isolated and 56 (14%) complex CAVSD (tetralogy of Fallot: 34, double outlet right ventricle: 7, aortic arch repair: 12, total anomalous pulmonary venous return: 3). Median age at repair was 5 months (range, 10 days to 16 years); 339 (84%) had trisomy 21. A 2-patch repair was used in 395 (97%) and the zone of apposition was completely closed in 305 (75%). Perioperative mortality was 2% and 4% in the isolated and complex groups, respectively. Perioperative mortality since 2006 was 0.9%. Median follow-up was 7 years. Overall 10-year survival and incidence of any reoperation were 92% and 11%, respectively. Complex anatomy was not a risk factor for mortality (p = 0.35), but it was for reoperation (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.6; p < 0.01). Risk factors for left atrioventricular valve reoperation were a second bypass run (HR: 2.7) and preoperative moderate or worse regurgitation (HR: 2.3). Mortality after CAVSD repair is low, yet reoperation remains a significant problem. Repair of complex CAVSD can be performed with similar mortality rates.

D006343 Heart Septal Defects Abnormalities in any part of the HEART SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communication between the left and the right chambers of the heart.
