Abstract Objective: Outcomes after surgical repair of complete atrioventricular septal defect
(cAVSD) have improved. With advancing age, the risk of development of dysrhythmias
may increase. The aims of this study were to (1) examine development of sinus node
dysfunction (SND), atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and (2) study progression of
atrioventricular conduction abnormalities in young adult patients with repaired cAVSD.
Study design: In this retrospective multicenter study, 74 patients (68% female) with a
cAVSD repaired in childhood were included. Patients’ medical files were evaluated
for occurrence of SND, atrioventricular conduction block (AVB), atrial and ventricular
tachyarrhythmias.
Results: Median age at repair was… More >
