[Agenesis of the pulmonary valve associated with interventricular defect].

The association between ventricular septal defect and pulmonary valve atresia is a rare congenital disease, which can provoke the compression of bronchioles, that make a high mortality rate possible in the first years of life. If this syndrome is tolerated, using a convenient medical therapy, it is possible to wait for a more suitable age for a complete correction, which must provide, besides V.S.D. closing, pulmonary valvular substitution by porcine aortic heterograft. The authors also report on their own experience of five cases surgically treated and studied from a pre- and postoperative hemodinamic point of view.

[Reconstruction of the pulmonary outflow tract with a valved conduit (author's transl)].

The authors describe 25 patients who underwent open heart surgery for reconstruction of the pulmonary outflow tract with a valved conduit. The following anomalies were observed: six cases of great vessels transposition, five cases of pulmonary artery atresia, five cases of truncus, three cases of tetralogy of Fallot and six cases of single ventricle. Two cases of single ventricle were treated in order to be transformed into a systemic ventricle. The pulmonary outflow was reconstructed with a valved conduit anastomosed between right atrium and pulmonary artery. This study includes pre- and postoperative hemodynamic values, surgical evaluation and a 5-months to 3-years follow-up. The authors emphasize that it is important that the surgical indications are closely related to the morphology and hemodynamics of pulmonary circulation for a better result.

[Atheromatous stenosis of the left coronary trunk. 28 surgical cases].

22 patients with atheromatous narrowing of the left coronary trunk underwent surgery between 1969 and 1974. Most of these patients had severe and incapacitating angina pectoris. The clinical features are readily explained by the size of the diffuse anatomical lesions, which are to be found on the left coronary trunk as well as on the three coronary vessels themselves. This series has not confirmed the serious risk of surgery in such cases, as there were no operative deaths. Secondary mortality was low (9%), and the 20 survivors (average length of follow-up: 26 months) were mostly (18/20) in an excellent condition functionally. These facts have lead us to advise surgery whenever possible.

Postperfusion stenosis of the common left coronary artery.

Late stenosis is a rare but potentially lethal complication of coronary perfusion. In 3 patients, anginal pain appeared 2 to 6 months after aortic valve surgery. Coronary angiography was performed because of rapid evolution of symptoms. Severe stenosis of the common left coronary artery was shown in all 3 cases. Immediate aorto-coronary bypass was undertaken with good results. Graft patency was demonstrated in 2 cases, 6 and 7 months after the operations.

[Palliative surgery of transposition of great vessels associated with pulmonary stenosis].

Palliative treatment for transposition of the great vessels with pulmonary stenosis (combined or not with ventricular septal defect) was studied in relation with 24 patients operated upon at Laennec's Hospital in Professor Mathey's section between January 70 and January 74. Three therapeutic attitudes are possible according to whether or not an atrial septal defect is created (Blalock-Hanlon's operation) in combination with the systemic-pulmonary artery anastomosis, and according to whether the operations are performed in one or many steps. It seems that for the badly-tolerated forms of the new-born, combination of both operations seems to be the best attitude, the curative treatment being impossible at this age.

[Mid-term fate of Beall's prosthesis in the mitral or mitro-tricuspid position. Apropos of 100 cases].

Aiming at investigation, a Beall's valve was implanted in mitral or in mitral-tricuspid positions only on 100 patients, between November 1969 and February 1972. The details of the initial valve lesions, the clinical condition of the patients, and the modalities of prosthetic replacement are described. The causes of death within the first month were analysed. None could be related with the prosthesis itself. At distance, 17 patients were lost of sight, 18 died and 51 were studied from 12-42 months after operation. It results from this investigation: -- that 84% of the patients reexamined were improved. Most of them were included in a better functional class; -- that the incidence of thrombo-embolic accidents amounted to 12% for the whole group of patients, a percentage similar to that observed with other types of prostheses; -- that in contraat, haemolysis is an obvious disadvantage of Beall's prosthesis (20 of 51 cases); -- that abnormal wears in two valves resulted in valve dysfunction compelled to re-operation. These latter two incidents have lead to abandoning this type of prosthesis.

[Post-cannulation stenosis of the left coronary artery trunk. 5 operated cases].

The authors report five cases of stenosis of the trunk of the left coronary artery following cannulation of the coronary artery, and discuss the types of lesion, and whether they exist as an entity. The morbidity of these lesions, and the threat of sudden death which they pose, indicates an aggressive treatment plan: - definite angina occurring 2 to 6 months after aortic surgery (under coronary artery perfusion) is an indication for urgent coronary arteriography; - this investigation must be followed by a revascularization procedure within a few days if it shows a tight stenosis of the coronary trunk. The constant finding of a good vascular bed distally would seem to presage good long-term results.
