Modified single-patch repair for atrioventricular septal defects results in good functional outcomes in the absence of deep ventricular septal defects

We compared two-patch repair (TP) with modified single-patch repair (MSP) for complete atrioventricular septal defects (CAVSD) and evaluated their impact on the left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) competence. We also identified risk factors for unfavorable functional outcomes.
