[Development and current status of heart surgery].

The history of development of Cardiac Surgery is made, analizing the factors influencing this evolution, such as the anatomic and physiological factors of cardiopathies as the fundamental factor of the fast development of this discipline. Reference is made over the influences exerted by Cardiac Surgery on the development on other medical disciplines such as the Intensive Care Units, Pacemakers, the Fundamentals of Congenital Heart Diseases and the studies over shock etc., etc., etc. The present status of Cardiac Surgery is exposed first by analysis of the global Surgical Results of the Instituto Nacional de Cardiología since 1945 up to date and finally the present results since 1971 to 1979 are shown.

[Clinical experience with the use of dura mater prosthesis (the 1st 60 patients)].

It is presented the experience in the first 60 patients with duramater's prothesis. It is exposed the methodology which was utilized for these patients, in the same manner, the valve's confection technic. There are signaled the advantages, over mechanic valves, that these prothesis have, specially the no utilization of anticoagulatings, a minor incidence of tromboembolic phenomena, insignificant transvalvular gradient, major resistance to infection, central flux, minor turbulence and lower cost. It is informed about the obtained results with electrocardiographic, radiologic, phonomechanocardiographic, echocardiographic and haemodynamic postoperation studies, evolution after two years has been very good, 90% of the patients shows substantial improvement and only 30% need to take anticoagulants. There were 5 hospital deaths and 1 late death by hepatitis.

[Fixed fibrous subaortic stenosis. Postoperative evaluation].

Fibrous sub-aortic stenosis in 19 patients surgically treated is discussed. The clinical, radiologic, EKG and cardiac catheterization data in the pre and post-operative evaluations are reviewed. There were no surgical deaths in this series. In 14 cases post-operative cardiac catheterization was carried out, in 11 patients a significant decrease in the gradient was found. In 4 cases pharmacological testing was done during catheterization before and after surgery, without significant change in gradients.
