TI  - Partial atrioventricular canal defect in adults.
PG  - 284-7
AB  - Between March 1955 and March 1981, 52 adult patients (age 20 years or older) with 
      partial atrioventricular canal (PAVC) were examined at the Mayo Clinic. Forty 
      patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class I or II. The 
      ECG showed right bundle branch block with left-axis deviation in 48, first-degree 
      atrioventricular block in 33 and atrial fibrillation in nine. Preoperative 
      catheterization was done in 37 patients; the mean pulmonary resistance index was 
      2.8 U.m2, and the mean pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio was 3.0. Forty-seven 
      patients underwent operation; two required mitral valve replacement. There were 
      three operative deaths (6.4% operative mortality) and two late deaths. All 
      surviving patients were in NYHA class I or II. No patient required subsequent 
      permanent pacemaker implantation. We conclude that repair of PAVC in adults may 
      be performed at low risk and may improve patient longevity and functional status.
