Unbalanced AVSD

Precise diagnosis

– When does AVSD become unbalanced?

The Challenges of UAVSD

Proper selection of surgical strategy

– When must biventricular repair be abandoned?

uAVSD: BVR or UVR?

“Discordant pursuit of BVR�is more frequent

than discordant pursuit of UVR, likely driven

by an intuitive notion that ‘two ventricles are by an intuitive notion that ‘two ventricles are

better than one’. Discordant BVR is more costly

in terms of survival than discordant UVR.”

Hickey EJ, et al. JTCVS 134(6), Dec 2007.

BVR or UVR : Is uAVSD the same as

“borderline left heart”??“borderline left heart”??

Z Scores (n=7)

AV valves: (-1.1 to -6.5) (-2.1 to +1.8)

Ventricles: (-3.6 to -7.5) (-1.0 to +2.0)

Conclusions

Ability to predict ventricular “competence” after

BVR is limited

Malalignment of the AV junction is an important Malalignment of the AV junction is an important

factor in the viability and sustainability of BVR

Conclusions

LVII and RV/LV Inflow Angle may augment the

utility of AVVI in predicting successful BVR

Surgical strategies aimed at inducing growth Surgical strategies aimed at inducing growth

warrant further investigation but current data

supporting this approach are less than robust

Conclusions

Clarification of the interplay of these many factors

is needed to optimize outcomes in uAVSD

A prospective, multi-institutional study will be A prospective, multi-institutional study will be

required to adequately power such an

investigation
