[Surgical treatment of multiple heart valve defects].
The article deals with the study of problems of the surgical treatment of patients with multivalvular heart diseases. Problems of myocardial protection, the methods for correcting tricuspid disease, and the attitude towards attendant valvular diseases depending on their severity are discussed on the grounds of the analysis of hospital fatality rate in a group fo 505 patients who underwent one-stage correction of two or three defective heart valves and the appraisal of late results. Analysis of the late results indicates that a more radical approach to the surgical treatment of mitral valvular disease is necessary and that marked relative insufficiency and all forms of organic tricuspid disease must be corrected without fail.
