A case of complete atrioventricular septal defect in which extracorporeal membrane oxygenation could be removed after performing the bilateral Glenn procedure for severe cardiac dysfunction after tricuspid valve replacement: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is a congenital heart disease (CHD) in which patients require surgery in early infancy. Tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) is a complication that can occur a long time after intracardial repair for AVSD, and surgical intervention is occasionally necessary. However, to date, there have been no reports of TR occurring in the acute phase after surgery for AVSD in infancy. In addition, the mortality rate is high for patients with severe symptomatic TR who undergo surgical intervention to correct the tricuspid valve position.

Case presentation

The patient was a 17-year-old adolescent girl with severe scoliosis, who was diagnosed as having complete AVSD in the neonatal period owing to a heart murmur detected after birth. Th
