title: [Mitral commissurotomy with extracorporeal circulation. Apropos of 200 cases with a median survival of 15 years].
abstract: This is a retrospective study of 200 patients, with long-term results operated upon from October 1965 to July 1984. 83% women, 17% men. The mean age was 42.40 +/- 11.03 years. In 87% mitral stenosis was pure and 13% systolic murmur was heard. 60% were in classes III and IV and 40% in classes I and II (NYHA). Hemodynamically mean C.W.P. was 21 +/- 6.27 mm Hg and mean P.A. pressure 30 +/- 9.5 mm Hg. Right anterior thoracotomy was done in every case with canulation of femoral artery and V.C. extracorporeal circulation consisted of a bubble oxgenation (RYGG) and a Roller Pump. In 88.5% both commissures were opened and in 11.5% only the anterolateral commissure. In 58% both papillary muscles were incised, in 15% anterolateral and in 13% posteromedial papillary muscles were incised. In 17% valves or commissures were decalcified. In 5.5% a thrombus was removed from the auricle. Postoperative mortality was 0%. 13% of patients experienced a postoperative complication: 4% hemothorax, 2.5% gaz embolism without sequela, 0.5% lower extremity embolism, 3% pulmonary embolism, 2% phlebitis and 1% gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Postoperatively in 75% of cases no murmur was heard, and in 25% a systolic murmur was found over pericardium. 167 patients were assessed at a mean interval of 129.88 months. 11 patients died at a mean interval of 98.56 +/- 48.56 months with non cardiac cause in 9 cases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
