[Successful new method for surgery of the postinfarctional left ventricular free wall rupture].

Authors discuss a history of a 78-years old male who suffered from left ventricular free wall rupture due to acute transmural myocardial infarction. Cardiac surgical intervention was carried out immediately after the ECHO examination which established the diagnosis. First time in Hungary authors used a sutureless technique to close the rupture and utilised double component glue and synthetic patch for this purpose. The patient had uneventful recovery and remained free of symptoms throughout his three months period of follow up. Current available data and knowledge are summarised about this life threatening disease.

[Coronary revascularization in post-infarction patients].

Authors report the type of revascularization, the result of noninvasive and invasive investigations carried out 6-9 months after surgery, improvement of functional status of 56 postinfarction patients with recurrent angina pectoris. They conclude, that recoronarography performed in 12 patients revealed diminished patency rate compared to the estimated predictive one, especially in those, where complete revascularization was considered to have been carried out. Ejection fraction, wall motion score by ventriculography and echocardiography did not seem to improve significantly. However Dipyridamol Thallium scintigraphy showed marked improvement in perfusion in all cases. NYHA functional status has noticeably improved in the reexamined patients.

Endocavital cooling in intraoperative myocardial protection during extracorporeal circulation.

The possible protective effect of endocavital cooling with a balloon left ventricular vent was studied by post cross clamp time rhythm, ECG, DC shock need, dynamics of temperature changes in the interventricular septum, and positive inotropic support requirement in 60 extracorporeal operations (18 aortic valve replacement, 26 aortocoronary bypass and 16 combined procedures) performed by the same team of surgeons with an identical technique and anaesthetic protocol. The results were compared to the data of 60 similar procedures carried out earlier by the same team but without the balloon technique. We conclude that endocavital cooling may have certain additive effects to chemical cardioplegia, especially in cases with left ventricular hypertrophy, multiple coronary stenoses, and in combined procedures.
