[Valve prosthesis in cardiac defects: indications and potentials].

Valvular prosthesis made a good reputation in the treatment of acquired and a series of congenital heart diseases. At the Research Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, 288 subjects were implanted a total of 324 valves from 1965 to 1979. Only from January 1, 1977 to May 1, 1979--132 patients got valvular prostheses, 71 of them with mitral prostheses, 42--with aortic prostheses and 19--with double valvular prostheses,with a total and immediate postoperative lethality of 22.8%. In 18 of the patients valvular prosthetization was accompanied by some other heart interventions--valvular commissurotomy or plastics, plastics of interauricular defect, etc. The potentialities and indications are developed for surgical treatment with valvular prostheses in cases of mitral aortic and tricuspid heart diseases.

[Fibrinolytic treatment. First results during the early postoperative period].

Fibrinolytic treatment during the early post-operative period is associated with a real danger of hemorrhage. On the other hand, in palliative shunt procedures in Fallot's disease, especially in small children, the anastomoses may thrombose. In such cases the therapeutic lysis of the thrombus improves the child's condition and may defer further surgery. The authors describe five cases of children with Fallot's disease and thrombosis of Blalock-Taussig anastomoses who were successfully treated by streptokinase. They conclude that fibrinolytic treatment should be considered in early thrombosis following anastomosing operations.

[Model of formation of chronic volume loading in the right heart].

The authors describe an experimental model for examining the changes occuring in the haemodynamics of the small circuit as a result of created artificial defect of the interatrial septum. An original operative technique is used, by which the complete clamping of the right lung artery and vera is avoided and lung complications are prevented. The performed control haemodynamic studies up to one vear after the operation support the efficiency of the proposed model.
