TL;DR
An elderly woman successfully underwent heart surgery to correct a birth defect and improve her heart failure symptoms.
Contribution
Demonstrates successful surgical repair of an incomplete atrioventricular septal defect in an elderly patient.
Findings
Surgical repair improved quality of life in an elderly patient with heart failure.
Mitral valve repair and defect closure led to a favorable postoperative outcome.
Surgery is a viable treatment option for elderly patients with valve degeneration.
Abstract
We report the case of a 76-year-old woman with an incomplete atrioventricular septal defect and severe congestive heart failure who underwent surgical repair. Surgical intervention involved mitral valve repair and patch closure of the ostium primum defect, resulting in a favorable postoperative course. Successful outcomes support surgery as a reasonable treatment option owing to its significant improvement in postoperative quality of life, even in elderly patients with left atrioventricular valve degeneration.
