[Superior vena cava blood flow measurements for results prognosing of a bidirectional cava-pulmonary anastomosis in correction of hemodynamics parameters in patients with hypoplastic right ventricle].

The method of prediction the enability of closure atrial septal defect before operation or in pre-bypass period during the one and one-half ventricle repair of CHD with hypoplastic right ventricle was presented. The method is based on comparison of the initial blood flow on superior vena cava (SVC) and right-to-left shunt at atrial level. Defect can be closed if flow on SVC and shunt flow are approximately equal.

[Treatment of patients with three-atrium heart].

Typical three-atrium heart constitute a rare inborn heart failure, in which pulmonary veins drain into the proximal additional camera of the left atrium, separated from distal left pericardium cavity of it own by diaphragm, in which there is one or more restrictive apertures. Of 6770 patients, consecutively operated on by one surgeon, in 15 (0.21%) ageing from 7 mo to 30 years the three-atrium heart was revealed.
