[Intracardiac correction of congenital heart anomalies in 104 infants (author's transl)].
From 1974 to 1976 104 infants (under 1 year of age) underwent intracardiac correction for congenital heart diseases. Mean age and body weight were 6.6 +/- 3.6 months resp. 5.66 +/- 1.4 kgs. The diagnoses and mortality rates were: transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with intact ventricular septum 27 (0), TGA plus associated anomalies 9 (0), ventricular septal defect (VSD) 20 (1), VSD plus associated anomalies 6 (1), total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage 9 (5), pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum 9 (2), aortic stenosis 7 (3), ASD I or II 7 (0), and miscellaneous 10 (3). Intracardiac correction was performed either on cardiopulmonary bypass and moderate hypothermia or in deep hypothermia with or without total circulatory arrest. The early mortality in the first group was 7% (6 out of 90), in the second group 64% (9 out of 14). With increasing experience, cardiopulmonary bypass has proven to be a save method for intracardiac correction of congenital heart anomalies in infancy even in the youngest age group under three months of age and under emergency conditions.
