Impact of Atrioventricular Valve Intervention at Each Stage of Single Ventricle Palliation.

ABSTRACT: Background: Significant atrioventricular valve dysfunction can be associated with mortality or need for transplant in functionally univentricular heart patients undergoing staged palliation. The purposes of this study are to characterize the impact of concomitant atrioventricular valve intervention on outcomes at each stage of single ventricle palliation and to identify risk factors associated with poor outcomes in these patients. Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database was queried for functionally univentricular heart patients undergoing single ventricle palliation from 2013 through 2022. Separate analyses were performed on cohorts corresponding to each stage of palliation (1: initial palliation; 2: superior cavopulmonary anastomosis; 3: F
