[Surgery of congenital cardiopathies without catheterization: initial experience with 141 consecutive cases].
Our initial experience with surgical treatment of congenital heart disease in 141 consecutive cases without the need of hemodynamic study is described. Ages ranged between 1 day and 15 years; 39 cases under 1 months of age (23 in the first week of life), 38 between 1 and 12 months, and 64 above 1 year of age. Diagnosis were: ductus 32 cases, atrial septal defect 24, Fallot's tetralogy 14, aortic coarctation 13, complete AV canal defect 7, D-transposition of the great arteries 5, ventricular septal defect 6, pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum 5, aortic stenosis 3, tricuspid atresia 4, pseudotruncus 2, univentricular heart 2, atrial myxomas, 2, Fallot's like 3, other type of congenital heart defect 19 cases. There was an adequate correlation between eco-2D images and anatomic-surgical findings. In conclusion, we think that a great percentage of cases affected of congenital heart disease should be considered for surgery without the need of a hemodynamic and angiocardiographic study.
