A child with regurgitation in the common atrioventricular valve associated with complex heart disease underwent bivalvation with bridging for common atrioventricular valve regurgitation and arterial-pulmonary shunt for low pulmonary blood flow. Postoperative cardiac catheterization and color Doppler echocardiography revealed elimination of atrioventricular valve regurgitation and ventricular enlargement, reflecting an increase in pulmonary artery blood flow. We describe the concept and technique of bivalvation with bridging for common atrioventricular valve regurgitation.
