Tricuspid atresia, hypoplastic right ventricle, intact ventricular septum and congenital absence of the pulmonary valve.

A case of tricuspid atresia by sealing of the valves, associated with an intact ventricular septum, a hypoplastic right ventricle and the absence of the pulmonary valve, is described. The foramen ovale and the ductus arteriosus were widely patent but there was no interventricular communication. The pulmonary flow was assured by the ductus which had a saccular continuation in the pulmonary trunk. It is postulated that the lesions probably occurred during the period between the XIX and XXII horizons and that the malformed right coronary artery may have played an important role in producing the lesions of the right ventricle.

[Stenosis of the left coronary trunk. Apropos of fifteen cases].

Stenosis of the left main trunk was revealed by selective coronary angiography in 15 patients among the 567 who were investigated (2.6%). No case of total occlusion was observed. There was no fatality due to the procedure. As a rule other coronary vessels also show atheromatous lesions. Five patients were not operated: 3 died (60%) after a mean survival period of 14 months following angiography. Among the 10 others who underwent surgery there was no operative mortality, but 2 patients died in the postoperative period (20%). The 8 survivors have been followed for a period ranging from 8 to 61 months (mean: 36 months). All are still alive and much improved clinically. Once the diagnosis of left main trunk stenosis has been established, early surgery should be considered.

[Percutaneous selective coronarography. Apropos of 600 cases].

600 selective coronary angiographies were performed in 559 patients, using Judkins preformed transfemoral catheters. One fatality was deplored (mortality: 0,17 p. 100). 15 cardiac complications were observed 2,5 p. 100), 10 of which were severe but rapidly corrected arrhythmias. Among these 559 patients 495 were clinically cases suffering from probable or certain coronary heart disease. 88 p. 100 of this group were men. Selective coronary angiography revealed stenosis with decrease of at least 50 p. 100 of the lumen in over 80 p. 100 of the cases. The anterior descending was the most frequent site of stenosis. In the majority of cases, and especially in men, two or several vessels were diseased. There is some relationship between the development of collateral circulation and the extension of coronary disease. In one third of the cases, ventricular function, assessed by measurement of the ejection fraction was impaired.
