Abstract
Atrioventricular valve surgery has been shown to improve late outcomes for single-ventricle patients. This study demonstrates that AVV surgery performed with the Fontan procedure increased operative times, but did not significantly increase perioperative morbidity or mortality. This information supports appropriate utilization of AVV surgery for single-ventricle patients.
