    Abstract:
    A 13-year-old boy with [SLL] single left ventricle first underwent ventricular septation using a dacron patch at 3 years of age. Eight years after the first surgery, he presented with general fatigue on exertion as the chief complaint. Right-sided atrioventricular valve regurgitation, and dilatation of the right heart were diagnosed. Eleven years after surgery, right heart failure was uncontrollable by medicine, and 2nd surgery was performed. At operation, the right-sided heart valve leaflet was tightly adherent to the dacron septation patch, and valve plasty was judged impossible. We repaired the right-sided atrioventricular valve using an autologous pericardial valve leaflet and sub-valvular tissue. The postoperative course was uneventful, and he has been free from any complication for 33 months.
