atrioventricular septal defect

So let's walk through what that means and what it might look like.

So an AVSD or an AVS issue, so an arterial venal septal defect, means that when the heart is pumping, the blood does not get blocked from going backwards.

Is that correct? So it doesn't pump efficiently? Yes,

that is what kind of, because there can be So the issues can be in the different parts of the walls of the heart.

I don't know.

That would be a cardiologist that could answer that question.

Can there ever be an instance, and I'm sure families that have gone through the AVSD repair procedure are wondering, could the hole happen again, for lack of a better way of saying it? Is that ever a concern where the AVSD repair does not hold or something happens where it might become a problem again?

I have never heard of that.

And of course, as I said, we've got two of my amazing videos, ones by Sami Saad, redefining the two patch technique for a complete AV canal repair.

So this is a beautiful demonstration of an operation with a 4.9 kilogram, four month old baby that's got complete AVSD.

And this technique is demonstrating how with two patches, you can close the VSD and also the ASD and also treat the atrioventricular valves.

Absolutely beautiful.
