Progressive common atrioventricular valve regurgitation is a serious condition in children with a univentricular heart. We developed a repair procedure that consists of using a Teflon tape bridge and total circular annuloplasty to divide the common atrioventricular valve into two atrioventricular valves. This procedure was performed in 2 infants, and the results were satisfactory. Details of the technique are described.
