title: [Experiences with surgical treatment of the complete form of atrioventricular septum defect].
abstract: 13 children whose ages ranged from 3 to 30 months, with complete atrioventricular septal defect underwent surgical correction. 1 patch was used in Rastelli Type A cases and 2 patches in Rastelli Type C patients, without incision of the AV valve tissue. In all cases the left superior and inferior valve leaves were approximated with 2 or 3 stitches. One child died postoperatively. A good result was attained in 7 children. 5 children still need digitalis and diuretics. Complete AV-block was not seen.
