Cross-sectional echocardiographic features of "absent" pulmonary valve. Report of two cases.

"Absence" of the pulmonary valve was recognized by cross-sectional echocardiography in two infants having relatively atypical clinical manifestations for this cardiac malformation. Both had associated lesions: tetralogy of Fallot and ventricular septal defect, respectively, which were also detected by this non-invasive technique. The findings which strongly suggested the diagnosis were the presence of a ridge of rudimentary pulmonary valvular tissue at the level of the pulmonary annulus and the aneurysmal dilation of the pulmonary arteries. The short axis view at the level of the great arteries was the best approach for visualization of these anatomical abnormalities. The parasternal long axis and sub-costal four-chamber views were also helpful in detecting the associated lesions. In both cases the diagnoses were confirmed at autopsy.

Surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta in the first year of life. Immediate and late results in 35 patients.

Between February 1974 and September 1981, 35 consecutive infants younger than 12 months underwent repair of coarctation of the aorta. The mean age was 57 days and 24 were younger than 60 days. The indications for operation were congestive heart failure, metabolic acidosis and severe systemic hypertension. Only 3 cases had isolated coarctation, whereas the remaining 32 had associated anomalies. The first 4 patients were submitted to primary repair; after this, patch aortoplasty was utilized in 14 infants and in the remaining 17 patients the aortoplasty using the left subclavian artery was performed. The hospital mortality rate was 11.4% (4 cases) and there were 2 late deaths (5.7%). Follow-up over a 7-year period shows no clinical or hemodynamic evidence of recoarctation in any of the survivors.
