- W4244354016 abstract "This 30-year retrospective analysis by Hoohenkerk and colleagues [1Hoohenkerk G.J.F. Bruggemans E.F. Koolbergen D.R. Rijlaarsdam M.E.B. Hazekamp M.G. Long-term results of reoperation for left atrioventricular valve regurgitation after correction of atrioventricular septal defects.Ann Thorac Surg. 2012; 93: 848-855Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (31) Google Scholar] of patients undergoing reoperation for left atrioventricular valve regurgitation (LAVVR) after correction of all types of atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is notable for its size and for the fact that it spans nearly the entire era of AVSD repair. The series reinforces already established paradigms of AVSD morphologic findings and repair: first, that failure to close the zone of apposition (“cleft”), incomplete closure, or dehiscence is a significant contributor to residual disease that eventuates in reoperation; second, that AV valve dysplasia, despite being a poorly defined and subjective parameter in most retrospective studies, is nonetheless a significant risk factor for reoperation; and third, that long-term survival is superior in those patients who successfully undergo repair when compared with those who require valve replacement.In the authors' experience, roughly 1 in 7 patients undergoing repair of AVSD underwent reoperation for LAVVR. At first reoperation, 1 in 3 patients required valve replacement. Nearly 30% of patients undergoing an initially successful repair required a second reoperation. Of those patients undergoing a second reoperation, more than half underwent valve replacement. The overall survival among patients who underwent reoperation was roughly 90% at 1 year. Importantly, the analysis does not include any echocardiographic data, so the amount of valve regurgitation present in the patients who did not undergo reoperation is unknown.Late-term results necessarily reflect an earlier era (two thirds of the cohort underwent operation between 1975 and 1985), and one is tempted to suppose that such results will be better for patients who undergo operation today. Indeed, the mean age at primary repair in this series was 3.5 years and 50% of the patients had severe LAVVR preoperatively. It is reasonable to argue that earlier age at repair and a lower tolerance for preoperative valvar dysfunction will translate into higher rates of valve preservation and its attendant benefits for patients who undergo operation in the current era.That said, this important work highlights the fact that despite our best collective efforts, a significant portion of patients undergoing repair of AVSD will carry forward a burden of disease that will necessitate reintervention and impact late survival. This fact underscores the importance of clinical and laboratory investigations focused on establishing better solutions to the problems posed by suboptimal valve anatomy. Alternative anticoagulation strategies may mitigate a portion of valve prostheses' morbidities. However optimal outcomes depend on finding better tissue substitutes to facilitate complex repairs and, ultimately, tissue engineering techniques that are applicable in the clinical arena of valve repair.
