[Spontaneous return of sinus rhythm in mitralic fibrillation of long duration (author's transl)].

A case of mitral valvular disease in which spontaneous return of sinus rhythm occurred after 12 years of atrial fibrillation is reported. The course of the disease, complicated by A.V. and intraventricular conduction disturbances which made the insertion of a pacemaker necessary, suggests that return to sinus rhythm should not be considered necessarily an improvement in the clinical picture and in the prognosis in such patients.

[Portal hypertension. Indications and limitations of decompression operations].

A case of haemorrhage due to oesophageal varices in a cirrhotic-portal hypertense patient successfully treated with side-to-side portocaval anastomosis is reported. Long-term follow-up showed that the surgical result was satisfactory. On the basis of this case, the problems and current tendencies towards derivative operations in the prophylaxis and treatment of portal hypertension complications are reassessed.

[Technical innovations in femoro-tibial reconstructions].

The literature on reconstructive femoro-tibial surgery includes distal by-pass implantation, personally considered the most interesting and most debated part. Four cases treated with double femoro-popliteal and popliteo-tibial reconstruction, three with the jump-by-pass technique and one with the sequential-by-pass technique are reported. Of these cases, three are complete with fluximetric and angiographic examination before, during and after the operation. Final results are considered satisfactory, notwithstanding certain inconveniences which were dealt with as they arose. Long-term follow-up permits some optimism for the future of this surgery, although the technical difficulties are by no means negligible.
