Description
Keisuke Shibagaki and co-authors weigh valve replacement timing in 2026 for patients born with a single working heart chamber. All had prior repair of their shared inlet valve, called plasty. Thirty kept the repaired valve, while nineteen later got a replacement once leak was controlled. Survival and progress to the final Fontan stage were compared.
About a third needed replacement within ten years of first repair. Early first repair and severe leak at first repair each raised that risk. Ten-year survival matched between groups at roughly three quarters. Replacement after repair gave results on par with repair alone in this small set.
