چکیده

IN THE LAST 15 years surgical methods for the relief of the pulmonic obstruction in patients with pulmonary stenosis and intact ventricular septum have been successfully developed.1-6 Although the open-heart technic with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass is today the procedure of choice, the classic Brock's transventricular valvulotomy is still preferred for small infants.7-9 The final conclusion as to the respective advantages and disadvantages of these procedures cannot be reached without long-term followup of the operated patients. The purpose of this study is to present an evaluation of 46 patients, 10 to 13 years, following transventricular pulmonary valvulotomy for pulmonary valvular stenosis with intact ventricular septum. Material Fifty-three consecutive patients with valvular pulmonary stenosis and intact ventricular septum were submitted to transventricular valvulotomy at the Johns Hopkins Hospital between November 1949 and January 1952. Forty-six patients survived the operation and are the subject of the present report. There were 18 males and 28 females in this group. At the time of surgery their ages ranged between 6 months and 33 years, the mean age being 11 years and the median 8.8 years. The age distribution is shown in table 1. Valvular pulmonary stenosis was the only known cardiac malformation present in these patients with the exception of one with an associated atrial septal defect and of three patients who subsequently were found to have an associated infundibular

Results of valvulotomy for valvular pulmonary stenosis with intact ventricular septum; analysis of sixty-nine patients.

The analysis deals primarily with follow-up studies of patients who have had a valvulotomy for valvular pulmonic stenosis with an intact ventricular septum. In addition to observations on the subjective improvement, hemograms, and arterial oxygen saturation, the cardiac findings have been analyzed in detail. The changes in the size of the heart have been studied in relation to the growth of the...

Seven patients with mild to moderate pulmonic stenosis with intact ventricular septum were subjected to cardiac catheterization before and from 4 to 18 months after pulmonary valvulotomy. Despite uniform clinical improvement, remarkably slight changes were observed, following surgery, in right ventricular pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary artery flow, and pulmonary valve area, when...

Transventricular valvotomy for pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum in neonates: a single-centre experience in mid-term follow-up.

OBJECTIVES Transventricular valvotomy is a kind of hybrid therapy that is widely used in developing countries where cardiac catheter intervention is limited in neonates. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes and effectiveness of transventricular valvotomy in neonates with pulmonary atresia and an intact ventricular septum. METHODS Between August 2008 and July 2013, 2...
