The Angle of the Components of the Common Atrioventricular Valve Predicts the Outcome of Surgical Correction in Patients With Atrioventricular Septal Defect and Common Atrioventricular Junction

Multiplanar review of 3-dimensional data sets is valuable for the assessment of the functional morphology of AVSD valves. Using this technique, more acute AVV angles predicted increased likelihood of severe regurgitation following surgical repair.
