Surgery for ischemic mitral regurgitation: the impact of residual IMR on late survival.

One hundred and twenty two patients with mitral regurgitation grade 3-4 underwent surgery for mitral valve repair with annuloplasty ring. Patient age was 65+/-10 and 89 (73%) were male. Eighty-six (70%) were in NYHA class III-IV, 77 (63%) had reduced LV function, and mean MR grade (+/-SD) was 3,8+/-0,4.

[The post-closure syndromes of the duodenal ulcers].

The objective of the study was the determination of the ulcerorhaphy in perforated duodenal ulcers, a clinical course of the disease in the post-operational period and a delineation of the treatment tactics in the case of various morpho-functional abnormalities in the post-ulcerorhaphic period. To this effect, the method of retrospective analysis, allowing comparison of the pre- and post- operational pictures of the disease has been applied. As a result the post-closure syndromes of the perforated ulcer were detected in 42 (37,9%) patients.

[Results of the morphological examination of stomach in the different terms after stitching of a perforation duodenal ulcer].

Analyses of 184 cases of morphological examination of resected part of stomach in the different terms after stitching of a perforative duodenal ulcer is presented. The authors confirm, that ulcerative disease of duodenum and it's various complications including perforation is associated with antrum gastritis in all cases, which has superficial character. The authors are confirming that a gastric metaplasia of a mucosa of duodenum assists to the helicobacterial colonization, which represents one of the main factors of an ulcer formation along with a fast transition of acid gastric contents into the duodenum.

[Results of a surgical treatment of perforative gastroduodenal ulcers].

The article gives an analysis of the surgical treatment of perforative gastroduodenal ulcers. Out of 185 patients in 143 (77,2%) cases took place operation on taking in a perforative hole when 9 (6,2%) patients, five of them above 60, couldn't get it over. It has to be noted that the mentioned 9 patients were taken to the hospital after 521 (five hundred and twenty one) hours the perforation had started, each of them after 58 (fifty eight) hours in average.
