[Treatment of locally advanced breast neoplasms].

One particularly interesting problem in the treatment of breast carcinomas relates to the strategy to be adopted in locally advanced forms. In 10-25% of cases surgery in itself offers no guarantee of radicality and the prognosis is particularly poor. Once considered suitable only for radiation treatment, such cases now tend to be treated by mixed therapy adopting different modes and sequences. The present paper fully and carefully examines current concepts and treatment possibilities.

[Surgical treatment of endocrine tumors of the pancreas].

Following a brief review of the literature dealing with the rarity of this disease, and the diagnostic progress made to date, the surgical techniques applicable to the various locations of the neoplasia are described. Personal experience with 8 insuloma patients is reported.

[Mitral valve substitution, using the Lillehei-Kaster prosthesis].

Personal experience acquired in the course of 177 mitral valve replacements with a Lillehei-Kaster prosthesis up to June 1977 is discussed. Intraoperative mortality was 8.5%. Postoperative mortality (as at 31-12-1976) was 5.3%. The clinical, radiological, and ergometric findings were fully satisfactory. Haemodynamic examination at rest and during effort revealed improved pressure and heart capacity values. The mean transprosthetic gradient at rest was 5.61 and rose to 13.53 (after uncalibrated effort). Thromboembolism was noted in 5 patients (3.1%), as in the literature. The haemodynamic features and low thrombogenicity of the Lillehei-Kaster prosthesis would thus appear to make it a sound replacement for the mitral valve.

[2 cases of subaortic stenosis with subvalvular diaphragm complicated by postendocarditis aortic insufficiency].

Two cases of patients with discrete subaortic stenosis complicated by aortic regurgitation resulting from the sequelae of bacterial endocarditis and treated by valvular replacement are described. A correct preoperative evaluation was due to echocardiographic data and pressure curves; left ventriculography did not show any evidence of subaortic obstruction in any of the cases. In one patient, bacterial endocarditis involved mitral valve too, which was replaced by an artificial prostheses. Bacterial endocarditis is very rare in patients with discrete subaortic stenosis, but it must be regarded as a factor complicating the natural history of cardiopathy.

[The surgical treatment of discrete subaortic stenosis (author's transl)].

The AA. examine their experience concerning 23 patients operated on for a discrete subaortic stenosis since 1969. Immediate results are satisfactory, even if there have been postoperative complications in 26% of the patients. Late results are less satisfactory, above all because of the progression of aortic insufficiency far from the operation. Date of literature are nor allowing valuable indications about the natural history of the patient after surgical treatment, because of the scarcity of postoperative hemodynamic controls and, especially, of serial examinations. The AA. believe, on the ground of considered data and personal experience, that it is prudent, awaiting for further critical evaluation of late results, to limit surgical indications, in asymptomatic patients, to cases with left ventricular-aortic gradient superior to 70 mmHg.
