Abstract

Controversy over patients with complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD) and coarctation of the aorta (CoA) continues: whether they should be treated with a primary total correction or a staged approach utilizing initial pulmonary artery banding during neonatal period. A 17-day-old neonate with Down's syndrome underwent definitive repair of CAVSD and CoA. With the postoperative course uneventful, he was discharged from the hospital on 19th postoperative day. Single-stage repair of CAVSD and CoA appears to offer a good prognosis provided that valve morphology is amenable to repair.
