Pericardial patch augmentation of right atrioventricular valve in atrioventricular canal.
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.
