OBJECTIVE: Since a functional right ventricle is desirable when repairing @entity1146 with intact @entity67 , we sought to determine the factors that portend a successful biventricular repair in these @entity1 . METHODS: A review of operative records at UCLA between 1982 and 2001 revealed 56 @entity1 diagnosed with @entity1146 with intact @entity67 that underwent either a partial (n=26) or complete biventricular repair. Kaplan-Meier survival curves with log rank statistics were used to evaluate the influence of demographic, technical, and anatomic factors on survival and need for reoperation. RESULTS: Five-year actuarial survival following biventricular repair was 91.5%. Non-Caucasian race (p=0.011) and omission of palliative right @entity3585 (RVOTO) relief (p=0.042) were risk factors for @entity204 . All @entity1 with adequate follow-up required reoperation with median duration of 6.9 years. The most common cause of early reoperation (<1 year) was wound @entity281 (35.3%) while @entity338 (58.8%) constituted the majority of late reoperations. Risk factors for wound @entity281 included female sex (p=0.011) and use of a synthetic transannular patch (p=0.085). The most significant risk factor for early @entity338 was the use of a monocusp pericardial valve in the pulmonary annular position (p=0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Excellent survival follows biventricular repair of @entity1146 with intact @entity67 if RVOTO relief is performed in conjunction with initial palliation. Although most @entity1 eventually require reoperation, avoidance of synthetic transannular patches and monocusp pericardial pulmonary valves may reduce the incidence of wound @entity281 and delay need for @entity338 .
