Supravalvular mitral stenosis associated with ventricular septal defect.

We describe three patients with supravalvular mitral stenosis caused by a diaphragm located just above the mitral valve and associated with a ventricular septal defect. Two of our three patients also had an associated coarctation of the aorta. The physical signs, ECGs, chest roentgenograms, and cardiac catheterization data are described. Points helpful in the differential diagnosis of this malformation are emphasized. All three patients were treated successfully by surgery.

Anatomic correction of transposition of the great arteries.

Complete anatomic correction of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) was performed on 2 infants with high pulmonary arterial resistance. Both patients were operated upon under deep surface-induced hypothermia and limited cardiopulmonary bypass. Direct repair of the anomaly was accomplished by switching the aorta and the pulmonary artery with reattachment of the coronary arteries. The clinical result in the first patient was satisfactory. The postoperative cardiac catheterization and angiogram demonstrated no gradient across either outflow tracts and normal arrangement of the great vessels. The second patient died in the operating room, probably owing to compression or kinking of the left coronary artery.

[Epidemiology of viral hepatitis in Venezuela: preliminary results of phase 1. Prevalence in the metropolitan area].

Two different areas of metropolitan zone in Venezuela were studied in relationship to the immunological condition associated with A, B, C and D viral hepatitis in 557 healthy subjects. We performed clinical history with personal information, that was subsequently correlated with results of the hepatitis markers. General results show prevalence different from previous reports: Anti-HAV: 90.84%, HBsAg: 1.62%, Anti-HBc: 10.6%, Anti-HCV: 0.36% y Anti HDV: 0%.
