Successful Repair of Complete Atrio-ventricular Septal Defect at the Beginning of the Second Decade
Complete atrio-ventricular septal defects (CAVSD) are present in about 3% of children born with congenital heart pathologies. They usually require early surgical correction, mostly in infancy, and surgery is considered to be the gold standard. It is unlikely that anyone would survive beyond the firs...
