[Reopening of ventricular septal defect after surgical repair: experience with 7 reoperated patients (author's transl)].

Reopening of ventricular septal defect after surgical repair was investigated -- from six months to five years after operation -- on 75 patients who had undergone closure of ventricular septal defect and on 65 patients who had undergone complete correction of tetralogy of Fallot. The complication appeared in 3 patients (4%) of the first group and in 4 (6%) of the second group, always early after the operation (from 24 hours to 2 months). All patients underwent reoperation - operative mortality rate was 66% in the first group and 25% in the second one. Operative mortality was higher in patients with cardiac and/or tricuspidal failure, also after prolonged preoperative medical treatment.

An evaluation of an agar gel diffusion test with crude and purified antigens in the diagnosis of hydatid disease.

The sensitivity of the indirect haemagglutination test for the diagnosis of hydatid disease, although high, is insufficient. Agar gel diffusion tests for the diagnosis of this disease have not received much attention in the past and have been considered unsatisfactory. The authors propose such a test and evaluate its results in comparison with those of the indirect haemagglutination test.
