[1-Year-results of anuloplastisy (Carpentier-technic) in 7 patients (author's transl)].
Of 7 patients who had Carpentier anuloplasty, two had very good, two had good and two had unsatisfactory results in postoperative cardiac catheterization one year after operation. One patient died of acute hepatitis. Reasons for the poor results are false indications and inadequate operative technic. These results show that the Carpentier-technic can well be recommended for critical use in carefully selected patients with mitral insufficiency.
