심장내막상결손증의 외과적 치료: 2예 보고

Repair of incomplete endocardial cushion defect was accomplished in two cases in September 1973 in this department. In each case a low atrial septal defect and a cleft of mitral septal cusp were found. Interrupted suture repair on the cleft mitral cusp and closure of the atrial septal defect with dacron patch were done successfully. Rigg-Kyvsgaard bubble oxygynator and Sigma motor were utilized for extracorporeal circulation. Follow up study, six months after discharge, revealed satisfactory results.
