In 450 cases of open heart surgery, 222 cases(49.3%) were congenital heart diseases and 228 cases(50.7%) were acquired heart diseases. In 222 cases of congenital heart diseases, there were 201 cases of acyanotic heart disease and 21 cases of cyanotic heart diseases. Among the 228 cases of acquired heart diseases, most cases were valvular heart diseases in which 206 valves were implanted.
