[Interatrial communications of the ostium secundum type in the adult (author's transl)].

On the basis of personal observations made during their first year of activity in cardiac surgery, the authors review the existing literature concerning surgical indications for interatrial communications in the adult. While they recognize that there is a strong correlation between patient age and mortality, they argue that corrective surgery for such defects can be done also in the older patients, with due regard to limiting criteria relative to pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary arteriolar resistance, and cardiac failure.

Cardiac Surgical Procedures

[Myocardial protection during open heart operations].

The need for adequate protection of the myocardial tissue during open heart operations has proved to be of considerable importance in view of the conditioning value of the functional anatomical state of the myocardial fibre on the outcome of the surgery itself. After a review and description of the most widely used methods of protection, the Authors draw on the data in literature in order to trace a critical profile of each method, outlining its merits and defects in the light of present experience.
