[Operative and long term results in 52 patients operated on for chronic postinfarction left ventricular aneurysm (author's transl)].

Operative and late post-operative results in 52 patients undergoing operation for chronic postinfarction left ventricular aneurysm are described. Aneurysm resection was performed in 33 patients. This procedure was combined with myocardial revascularization by means of insertion of a venous aorto-coronary by-pass graft in 14 cases. Hospital mortality for the total group was 3,8% (2 deaths). Surviving patients were followed-up 3 to 66 months. Two late deaths occurred. Clinical and functinal improvement occurred in the majority of surviving patients. The impact of simultaneous aorto-coronary by-pass grafting on operative results is discussed.

[Surgical treatment of cardiac abnormalities associated with corrected transposition of the great arteries (author's transl)].

Twelve patients with corrected transposition of the great arteries, who underwent surgical repair, are reported. In four cases a ventricular septal defect was present; in six cases, a ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis and in two an incompetence of the systemic atrio-ventricular valve. The anatomic types of corrected transposition and the pertinent diagnostic characteristics were reviewed and discussed. The problems related to the surgical correction and the different approaches to the intracardiac lesions are considered and the difficulties of treating the obstruction of the venous ventricle successfully are emphasized.
