REMOTE RESULTS OF COMPLETE CORRECTION OF PULMONARY ATRESIA WITH VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT

The article presents remote results (RR) after complete correction (CC) of the complex congenital heart disease (CHD), pulmonary atresia (PA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) at 60 patients within the term from 0.5 to 15.9 years (mean 9.5±3.9). Late mortality composes 5%. The reasons for lethality were the following: 1) inflectional endocarditis; 2) after repeated operation on conduit change; 3) stroke.

The analysis of RR showed that 70% of patients after CC with PAVSD had good remote results. Implantation of autologous pericardial VC yields the durable remote results.
