Abstract
Atrioventricular valve regurgitation in univentricular heart is more frequently associated with a tricuspid or a common atrioventricular valve, and structural anomalies are the primary cause. Significant atrioventricular valve regurgitation requiring surgery influences survival after total cavopulmonary connection, especially when atrioventricular valve replacement was needed. Surgical management based on mechanisms of regurgitation is mandatory.
