Mitral insufficiency and mitral stenosis. Surgical treatment using the heart-lung machine.

Thirty-four patients having among them cardiac valve deformities of five different types were operated upon with the heart opened to expose the surgical field to direct vision. Five of them died, including three of the first six. Of 29 surviving patients, 26 were greatly improved and leading a normal life. The other three were slightly to moderately improved.

Cardiac operations with extracorporeal circulation.

In a series of 50 patients for whom a heart-lung machine was used for periods as long as 70 minutes during operations to correct structural defects of the heart, there were no deaths attributable to the machine. Seven patients died. Two of them had high pressure ventricular septal defects with bidirectional shunts; a third patient with the same lesion recovered after repair. One patient died of cardiac tamponade when a large blood clot formed about the entire heart in a loosely closed pericardial sac. Others died of various causes. The development of subacute bacterial endocarditis in one patient led to a change in sterilization of apparatus.
