title: [Frequency and surgical mortality in surgery of the heart and intrathoracic large vessels. II. Operations other than direct coronary revascularization].
abstract: Just as bypass operations, the number of operations for other lesions of the heart and great vessels are increasing. The surgical mortality among infants operated on because of congenital anomalies is high. Despite the rising number of patients in this age group, mortality after surgery for ductus arteriosus and for Fallot's tetralogy is falling. The mortality of certain operations for non-congenital anomalies also shows a tendency to decrease. Hitherto, the mortality rate of cardiac transplantations has been relatively low. Progress of cardiac surgery appears to manifest itself with a decreasing nationwide number of deaths from congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels.
