Article Synopsis
- The report details the outcomes of intracardiac repair in 200 patients over 14 years with tetralogy of Fallot, noting complications like congestive heart failure and hemoptysis in a minority.
- A transannular gusset was commonly used in recent cases, contributing to a low hospital mortality rate of 1.3%, while 97% of survivors reported an active, asymptomatic lifestyle.
- Long-term evaluations are needed to assess the durability and overall health of these patients following their treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are often congenital and typically rupture into the right atrium or ventricle, leading to significant cardiac symptoms.
- Early detection and surgical intervention can effectively cure this condition, with a study of 28 patients highlighting the use of a combined aortocameral approach and a recommended sandwich patch for repair.
- Overall operative mortality was initially 21.4%, but improved to 11.7% over the last decade, with further discussion on factors contributing to mortality.

Experience with 261 subjects undergoing aortic valve replacement is presented. The mean age of our patients (29.6 years) is much less an compared to reports from the West.

In view of the acknowledged advantage of durability and minimal thrombogenicity, we chose the Starr-Edwards valve prosthesis in the large majority of our subjects. Other prostheses have also been used.

Out of 709 consecutive patients with isolated secundum atrial septal defect, the pulmonary artery systolic pressure was greater than 50 mm Hg in 118 patients (17%). Pulmonary hypertension was present in 13% of patients under 10 years and in 14% aged 11 to 20 years. The Eisenmenger reaction was present in 9% of the 709 patients.

The mean preoperative systolic pulmonary artery pressure was 70.5 (range 31-136) mm Hg and the calculated pulmonary vascular resistance ranged from 300 to 1680 dyn/s cm-5.
