Surgical treatment of constrictive fibrous endocarditis.

Between 1971 and 1980, 20 patients with fibrous endocarditis were treated by resection of ventricular endocardium and replacement of the atrioventricular valve. There were 13 male and seven female patients whose ages ranged between 12 and 58 years. Thirteen were white and the remaining seven were black Africans. Nine presented a right-sided form, five a left-sided one, and six presented involvement of both ventricles. The role of hypereosinophilia is discussed in the etiology of the disease. The operation was performed according to the techniques we had developed in our first operative case-excision of the atrioventricular valve. Complete resection of the endocardium, and valvular replacement. There were three operative deaths. Complete atrioventricular dissociation was observed in seven of our patients. particularly in those with right-sided endocarditis. At late follow-up, we have not observed any case of recurrence of the disease. On the basis of our experience and the results previously published in the literature, we believe that endocardiectomy is the best current treatment of this disease.

New electron-capture gas-liquid chromatographic method for the determination of mexiletine plasma levels in man.

A method for the determination of mexiletine in human plasma by gas-liquid chromatography with electron-capture detection is described. Plasma samples are extracted at pH 12 with dichloromethane after addition of the internal standard, the 2,4-methyl analogue of mexiletine. A derivative is obtained using heptafluorobutyric anhydride; according to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry it is a monoheptafluorobutyryl compound. The minimum detectable amount of mexiletine is 5 pg. Accurate determinations of human plasma levels were performed after oral or intravenous treatment.

The surgical treatment of constrictive fibrous endocarditis.

Constrictive fibrous endocarditis is a pathological entity described by Loëffler in 1936. Its etiology is unknown. The clinical course is characterized by an evolution towards cardiac insufficiency leading rapidly to a fatal outcome. Moderen paraclinical investigations are necessary to assess the diagnostic. Caridac catheterization brings the proof of adiastole and angiogardiography reveals the shape of amputation of the ventricle with auriculoventricular regurgitation. The operative procedure consists of resection of the ventricular fibrosis including the valves and auriculo-ventricular valve replacement by a prosthetic valve. The disease affects both Caucasians and Negros. Our experience includes 5 cases. The indications for operation and their results are discussed.
