Ventricular septal deffect and aortic imcompetence: clinical and haemodynamic study of 12 cases.
The incidence of aortic incompetence complicating ventricular septal defect has been estimated as varying from 2-5% (Glasser et alii, 1972) to 5% (Nadas et alii, 1964). Although numerous publications have appeared describing the clinical, pathological and surgical aspects of this syndrome in different parts of the world, documentation of its occurrence in Asian patients has been rare except for reports from Japan (Tatsuno et alii, 1973; Mizuno and Saegusa, 1967). This paper describes our experience of 12 cases collected over 10 years.
