[Congenital mitral abnormalities in children. Apropos of 44 cases].

Forty-four cases of mitral malformation were studied. Thirty times it was a mitral regurgitation, 10 times, a mitral stenosis. High frequency of associated malformations was observed. Tolerance was almost always very bad, leading to surgery in spite of the young age. Operative mortality was high (30%). To a certain extent, surgery should be palliative: commissurotomy in case of stenosis, with almost always bad results; annuloplasty in case of regurgitation, with sometimes good results. Good surgical results were observed in one third of the cases.

[Fistula between right pulmonary artery and left atrium. A case report and review of the literature (author's transl)].

The communication between right pulmonary artery and left atrium is a very uncommon cause of right to left shunt. The 18th case in the world literature and the first case in France is reported here. Normal pressure in the right cavities and in pulmonary artery is evocative. Angiography assesses the diagnosis and precises the place and connections of the fistula. Surgical closing of the fistula must be promptly achieved in order to obviate embolic complications.
