Abstract

From November, 1973, through June, 1978, 428 operations in 425 patients were performed for replacement of aortic, mitral, or aortic plus mitral valves, utilizing 277 Hancock and 180 Carpentier-Edwards bioprostheses. Actuarially determined survival at 36 months was similar for all three groups and compared favorably with our experience with the Björk-Shiley prosthesis. Certain patient-related variables influencing late survival were identified by multivariate analysis and included previous operation for congenital heart disease, coronary artery bypass grafting in nonaortic valve replacement, race (black), age at operation, and New York Heart Association Functional Class. A small but definite incidence of thromboembolism occurred in all three groups, again similar to our experience with the Björk-Shiley prosthesis. Multivariate analysis identified four factors influencing risk of thromboembolism: previous cardiac operation, age, double-valve replacement, and rhythm at discharge. Valve degeneraation occurred, primarily in children and young adults. Over the medium term, the porcine bioprosthesis compared favorably with mechanical prostheses in terms of survival, function, and thromboembolism. Certain patient-related variables affecting survival may be modified by earlier surgical intervention.

21. A randomized controlled trial of very early prophylactic ligation of the ductus arteriosus in babies who weighed 1000g or less at birth

Abstract

Infants at birth sometimes suffer from abnormally open lumen in the ductus arteriosus, the fetal blood vessel connecting the lung artery to the descending aorta. The authors examined whether surgical suturing of the ductus arteriosus would reduce the risk of death and disease in very-low- birth-weight babies with this condition. The surgical procedure did not change the rate of death, abnormal lung development, diseases of the retina, or hemmorrhages within ventricles. In conclusion, surgery to repair the ductus arteriosus soon after birth reduces the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in low-birth-weight babies who require supplemental oxygen.
