[Coronary sinus atrial septal defect diagnosed by cyanosis after operation of ventricular septal defect].

We have experienced a case of coronary sinus atrial septal defect (ASD) with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Cardiac catheterization revealed a step-up of oxygen saturation in right ventricle, L-R shunt 70.3%, R-L shunt 6.

[Eleven cases of surgery for Marfan syndrome].

The surgical outcomes in 11 patients with a Marfan syndrome (mean [+/- SD] age, 32 +/- 16: range 0.5 to 60) were evaluated. Echocardiography demonstrated annuloaortic ectasia (AAE) in nine patients, mitral regurgitation (5 months baby: valve replaced) and abdominal aortic aneurysm in one each.

Results of 256 consecutive abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs using extraperitoneal approach.

Two hundred and fifty-six consecutive abdominal aortic aneurysms were repaired using three approaches for extraperitoneal exposure of the aorta and iliac vessels from February 1990 through September 1998. The perioperative mortality rate was 3.1% in 228 elective repairs and 14.

Bland white Garland syndrome with type A aortic dissection.

We report the case of a 72-year-old patient with a left main coronary artery originating from the pulmonary trunk with type A aortic dissection. He is the oldest patient among those reported in the literature, operated due to acute type A aortic dissection and has survived 4 year after the operation without surgery on the coronary artery.

[A case of tracheo-bronchial stenosis after extended end-to-end aortic arch anastomosis for interrupted aortic arch treated with suspension of the ascending artery and pulmonary artery].

A 9-day-old boy had pulmonary artery banding and extended end-to-end aortic arch anastomosis for ventricular septal defect (VSD) and type A interrupted aortic arch. Severe dyspnea gradually developed. At 3 months of age, intracardiac repair of VSD was performed.
