The investigation objective was to improve the immediate results of surgical treatment of the aortal valve failure, applying minimization of operative trauma and, accordingly, rapid functional rehabilitation of patients. The aortal valve prosthesis, using minimally invasive access, was conducted in 44 patients. There was proved, that conduction of ministernotomy for strict indications is effective and have significant advantages, com' paring with classic median sternotomy, because it provides minimal surgical trauma, preservation of the thoracic cage frame, and better cosmetic effect.

Surgical treatment of Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome during plastic operations in patients with Ebstein's anomaly.

Objective: Ebstein's anomaly is the most common pathology associated with the accessory conduction pathways.

Methods: From January 1990 to August 1999 48 patients underwent surgical repair of Ebstein's anomaly by various plastic techniques. The pathways were identified and characterized at preoperative electrophysiologic mapping in 17 (34.
