89 TH ANNUAL MEETING MAY 9–MAY 13, 2009BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS(difference between maximum and minimum duration), and amplitude from consecutivepostoperative 12-lead electrocardiograms. Changes in maximum P-waveduration and P-wave dispersion were analyzed using a general linear mixed modelwith years as a fixed effect and patients as a random effect.RESULTS: Atrial tachyarrhythmia was documented during follow-up in 9 APC,but not in any EC or IB patients. Freedom from arrhythmia in APC was 88.5 ±11.5%, 65.0 ± 35.1%, 41.2 ± 51.8% at 10, 15, and 20 years, respectively. Both P-wavemaximum duration and P-wave dispersion slightly decreased over time in EC,while progressively increasing in IB and APC. EC patients had significantly shortermaximum P-wave duration (p < 0.001) and smaller P-wave dispersion (p = 0.004)than APC. IB patients had significantly shorter maximum P-wave duration thanAPC (p = 0.001). P-wave amplitude dropped dramatically immediately after surgeryin IB and EC, but remained unchanged in APC.CONCLUSION: Changes in P-wave characteristics over time were different in ECcompared with those in APC. The IB group showed an intermediate trend. Thesefindings suggest that EC is the most promising modification of the Fontan procedurein terms of rhythm prognosis.116

Depth of Ventricular Septal Defect and Impact on Reoperation forLeft Ventricular Outflow Obstruction After Repair of CompleteAtrioventricular Septal Defect: Does Double Patch TechniqueDecrease the Incidence of Left Ventricular Outflow Obstruction?Anatomical and Clinical CorrelationAnastasios C.

The Heart Institute for Children at Hope Christ Hospital, OakLawn, IL, USAInvited Discussant: Carl L. BackerMONDAYAfternoonOBJECTIVE: In complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD) left ventricularoutflow (LVOT) obstruction is of concern. Modified single patch technique (MSP)has been used as an alternative to double patch technique (DP). Clinical analysis ofCAVSD repairs was conducted. Anatomical comparison between MSP and DP inunoperated specimens was performed and the impact of the depth of ventricularseptal defect on LVOT assessed.METHODS: From September 2002 to August 2008, 77 infants underwent CAVSDrepair. Thirteen had MSP and 64 DP. Seven of 13 had trisomy 21 vs 46 of 64 (p ns).Mean age was 4.6 ± 1.1 months (MSP) vs 4.9 ± 1.3 months (DP) (p ns). LVOT peakgradient (PG) and depth of the ventricular component of the AVSD (dVSD) fromAV valve annulus were measured by echocardiogram and dVSD expressed as aratio to the length of ventricular septum from the apex (D). Sixteen anatomy specimenswere examined. Each had MSP. The repair was, then, taken down followed byDP. Each specimen served as its own control. Measurements of LVOT were taken:1 at the level of the free edge of AV valve anterior leaflet, 3 immediately in the subaorticvalve area, 2 at the mid-distance. A and B indicate DP and MSP respectively.Finally, dVSD and D ratio were measured.RESULTS: Rastelli type A were 47 (10 MSP vs 37 DP), 3 type B (1 MSP vs 2 DP)and 27 type C (2 MSP vs 25 DP). Patients with smaller dVSD (D ratio) preferentiallyhad MSP (0.21 ± 0.07 in MSP vs 0.32 ± 0.07 in DP, p < 0.001). Mean follow-up was36.4 ± 2.3 months. Fifteen patients developed LVOT PG greater than 20 mmHg (4 of13 had MSP, 30.8% vs 11 of 64 had DP, 20.7% – p < 0.05 ). When freedom fromreoperation for LVOT obstruction (LVOT PG greater than 50 mmHG) was analyzed3 of 13 (23%) with MSP and 6 of 64 (9.4%) with DP (p < 0.05) required surgicalintervention. Seven had modified Konno and 2 subaortic resection. In anatomicalcomparison, 1A was 20.67 ± 7.05 mm vs 1B 12.33 ± 4.96 mm (p < 0.001). 2A was12.55 ± 3.36 mm vs 2B 8.72 ± 1.71 mm (p < 0.001). 3A was 8.99 ± 2.29 mm vs 3B 7.65± 1.81 mm (p < 0.001). There was direct correlation between reduction of LVOT atlevel 1 and dVSD (D ratio) when the MSPT was used (p 0.025, Pearson’s r 0.557).* AATS Member117
