To test the hypothesis that in patients with a partial atrioventricular septal defect (PAVSD) and a competent left atrioventricular valve (LAVV), sutures should be placed across the line of apposition of the superior and inferior bridging leaflets, septal commissure (SC), to prevent the development of regurgitation. Outcome of surgery and risk factors for the need for LAVV reoperation of patients with mild or no LAVV regurgitation (LAVVR) were evaluated.
