Abstract

|
|
Fifty-two cases of patent ductus arteriosus were operated on, consisting of 32 females and 20 males. The youngest was 10 month old girl and the oldest 38 years old woman. Severe pulmonary hypertension of 110mmHg was found in two cases, both of which succumbed, one during surgery due to cardiac arrest and the other died one week after operation. In the later case severe tracho-bronchial tree obstruction was found by autopsy.
One and a half years old girl expired 3 days after operation. By autopsy bronchopneumonia was found. A fourteen years old girl died of bacterial endocarditis one month after discharge from the hospital.
Two cases associated with pulmonary hypertension and an adult were operated on under general hypothermia. All the survival cases showed satisfactory results.
