Successful Biventricular Conversion Late After Primary One and One-Half Ventricle Repair.

A 6-year-old girl with unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect, hypoplastic right ventricle, and severe common atrioventricular valve regurgitation developed patient-prosthetic mismatch. At 6 months old, she underwent primary one and one-half ventricle repair and replacement of left side atrioventricular valve. A catheter examination showed that her right ventricular end-diastolic volume increased from 39.4 mL/m2 1 year after to 70 mL/m2 3.5 years after the previous surgery. Thus, at the timing of redo left side atrioventricular valve replacement, she was converted successfully to biventricular circulation. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the right atrial pressure was 7 mm Hg before discharge.
