Abstract
In contrast to older patients, children and young adults rarely have isolated disease of the systemic atrioventricular valve. Stenosis and/or regurgitation of the systemic atrioventricular valve, however, frequently coexist with complex congenital cardiac disease. In addition, most patients undergoing surgery on the systemic atrioventricular valve have had previous intracardiac repairs.
