title: [Surgical treatment of infant atrial septal defect: report of two cases].
abstract: The operation for the isolated secundum type of atrial septal defect (ASD) is usually conducted electively in the older age. Small number of cases, however, inevitably require surgical treatment for the reason of intractable heart failure. We have experienced such two infants with the isolated secundum type of ASD, whose conservative treatment was ineffective.
