title: [Reoperation after correction of common atrioventricular valve regurgitation].
abstract: Surgery for common atrioventricular valve is classified into cases of groups at the univentricle repair with asplenic syndrome or cases of groups at the biventricular repair with atrial ventricular septal defect. The technique of the reoperation referred to a wide variety of surgical techniques such as commisuroplasty, valvuloplasty, annuloplasty, chordal repair, papillary muscle repair and valve replacement. This report examines the leaflet augmentation technique and supra-annular valve replacement for left atrioventricular valve after complete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) repair and semicircular annuloplasty with autologous pericardial strip for common atrioventricular valve after common atrioventricular valve repair. However, it is possible that numerous cases may require reoperation of valve plasty or valve replacement in the future. It is very important to follow up the subsequent history of the patients and to evaluate valve regurgitation and ventricular function while repeating cardiac catheterization, cardiac echo testing in addition to the clinical symptoms in a short period of time.
