title: Surgical repair of a complete atrioventricular septal defect with tetralogy of Fallot using a classical one-patch technique and pulmonary valve preservation.
abstract: The association of complete atrial ventricular septal defect (cAVSD) with tetralogy of Fallot remains a complex malformation that involves both inlet and outlet components of the ventricles. The surgical treatment used to be, in the 1980s, a staged repair strategy due to the high mortality rate of first primary repairs (PRs). However, nowadays, PRs have better outcomes. Although double-patch procedures are widely performed, this article describes the single-patch approach for cAVSD repair with transatrial-transpulmonary repair of the Fallot component with preservation of the pulmonary valve.
