Pericardial patch augmentation of right atrioventricular valve in atrioventricular canal

Ann Thorac Surg. 1996 Jul;62(1):288-90. doi: 10.1016/0003-4975(96)00154-3.

Abstract

Untreated pericardial patch was successfully used to augment tissue-deficient bridging leaflets of the right atrioventricular valve in a patient after previous repair of complete common atrioventricular canal. Medium-term echocardiographic follow-up showed excellent tricuspid valve function with trivial central regurgitation.
