Long-term results of operated and non-operated patients with congenital heart diseases. 1981

K Ogawa, and T Ito, and M Ban, and K Mizutani, and M Nagashima

The long-term results of 1023 adult patients with congenital heart diseases, operated and non-operated, with atrial septal defect (ASD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), pulmonary stenosis (PS) and tetralogy of Fallot, were followed for up to 24 years, and the long-term results of operated and non-operated congenital heart diseases were compared. The survival rate of patients with operated isolated ASD was significantly higher than in patients with non-operated isolated ASD, and that of operated patients with VSD associated with other anomalies was also significantly higher than in non-operated VSD patients with such involvement. The survival rate showed no significant difference in the operated and non-operated patients with PDA, PS and tetralogy of Fallot. In all congenital heart diseases, there was a close correlation between the mean pulmonary artery pressure and the mortality rate both in operated and non-operated patients and a marked improvement of physical capacity of operated patients at the time of the last follow-up examination.

D011666 Pulmonary Valve Stenosis The pathologic narrowing of the orifice of the PULMONARY VALVE. This lesion restricts blood outflow from the RIGHT VENTRICLE to the PULMONARY ARTERY. When the trileaflet valve is fused into an imperforate membrane, the blockage is complete.

D004374 Ductus Arteriosus, Patent A congenital heart defect characterized by the persistent opening of fetal DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS that connects the PULMONARY ARTERY to the descending aorta (AORTA, DESCENDING) allowing unoxygenated blood to bypass the lung and flow to the PLACENTA. Normally, the ductus is closed shortly after birth. Patent Ductus Arteriosus Familial,Patency of the Ductus Arteriosus,Patent Ductus Arteriosus
