Abstract
|
|
|
Between 1981 and 1992, 22 children from 1 to 15 years of age have undergone cardiac valve replacements at National medical center. The patients were composted of 14 males and 8 females and 7 patients had congenital heart disease and 15 patients
had
rheumatic heart disease. Three of these 15 patients have had second valve replacement due to prosthetic valve failure(PVF). Single valve replacement were 20(Aortic 3 cases, Mitral 17 cases) and double valve replacments were 2. The overall
mortality
was
22.7%. Actuarial survival rate was 77.28*8.29% and Complication free rate was 67.68*15.56%. The pediatric valve replacements can now be performed at a low operative risk although various problems are still remained and the choice of valve is
prosthetic
valve mainly due to its durability at the present time. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1994; 27:984-8)
