Abstract

Repair of the complete atrioventricular canal defect is still complicated by dehiscence of sutured atrioventricular valves. An in vitro study of initial suture line strength during tensile loading was made using canine pericardial leaflets. Type of 'non-pledgetted' stich was not related to suture line strength. Closer spacing of non-pledgetted stitches (1 mm versus 2 mm) increased strength 29% (p
