[Follow up results of radical correction of Fallot's syndrome].

In the years 1981-1989 in the Department of Cardiosurgery, Institute of Cardiology, Medical Academy in Lódź, 39 patients with Fallot's syndrome were subjected to radical correction of the congenital heart disease. In 18 cases the correction was preceded by a palliative operation carried out on the average four years before the radical correction of the congenital heart disease. During the early postoperative period seven patients died which accounted for 17%. Out of 39 patients treated surgically, 32 were in I or II haemodynamic grade according to NYHA.

Distribution of mast cells in human heart auricles and correlation with tissue histamine.

The mast cell density, fixation and staining properties, as well as tissue histamine, were studied in the human heart right auricles of 28 patients with mild atrial or ventricular septal defect (ASD or VSD respectively). We have found that different modes of fixation did not change significantly the mast cell appearance and number as stained with pinacyanol erythrosinate. The mast cell density was 21294 +/- 2775 cells per mm3 tissue and the mean histamine content of the auricle was 900.7 +/- 63.9 ng/g wet tissue weight. A significant positive correlation was observed between mast cell counts and histamine content (r = 0.79, p = 0.001). Furthermore, our data suggest the existence of a non-mast cell pool of cardiac histamine in man.

[Surgical treatment of funnel chest].

In 1976-1985, 39 patients were operated for the funnel chest. All patients were enrolled for the intensive rehabilitation program in the hospital, and correction exercises followed by swimming were recommended after release home. A favourable cosmetic effect was achieved in all patients in early postoperative period. However, a recurrence of the funnel chest has been noted in 10 patients (26%), later. Abnormality has been less advanced except 1 patient in whom subjective worsening has been noted.

[Results of the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus].

Since the first effective surgical treatment of PAD, the indications for such a treatment have been more extensive and its results and methods have been changing. We present 123 patients who underwent surgery for PAD in the Clinic of Cardiosurgery, Institute of Cardiology, Medical Academy of Lódź within 1978-1987. In 101 cases PAD was dissected and both ends were sutured in two layers with continuous sutures, and in 22 cases PAD was ligated with 3 ligatures. In 30 patients PAD coincided with other congenital defects of the circulatory system. No cases of recanalization were observed in our patients. One death in the postoperative course was noted.
