A total 139 patients with Tetralogy of Fallot underwent total correction in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul university Hospital during 5 year-period from January 1974 to December 1978, with overall mortality of 16.5 percent. Operative mortality varied according to severity of the lesion, age of the patients, nature of the previous surgical treatment and presence or absence of an outflow tract across the pulmonic valve ring. Twenty-two patients died in the early postoperative period, one in the postoperative 15 th day and 116 patients were discharged from the hospital alive. There were 90 male patients and 49 female patients with male preponderance. And the age of the patients varied from 2.8 years to 31 years with average of 11.1 years. A patch of the right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonic annulus was required to relieve pulmonic stenosis in 104 patients. There were 20 deaths in group(19.2%) as compared to 3 deaths in the group of 35 patients who were treated without a patch. The electrocardiogram showed right ventricular hypertrophy in 101 cyanotic patients. The interventricular conduction was normal in 112 patients preoperatively. It was normal postoperatively in 22 among 112 patients in these group who were survived. Complete RBBB appeared at operation in 70 patients and 20 patients developed incomplete RBBB. Major causes of death were complete A-V block, Congestive Heart Failure and Bleeding in order.

During the period from january, 1972, to march, 1979, Twenty-four patients underwent mitral valve replacement at the seoul national University Hospital. Their ages ranged from 8 years to 20 years, with 11 patients being 16 years of age or younger at the time of operation. There were 12 males and 12 females and their weight ranged from 25 to 53 Kilograms. Seventeen patients had advanced stages of heart disease as evidenced by the functional classification: 14 cases were in functional class III and 3 cases in functional class IV (New York heart Association). A history suggestive of rheumatic fever was elicited in 75 per cent of our patients. Radiographic evaluation demonstrated marked cardiomegaly in the majority of the patients. The cardiothoracic ratio was over 70 per cent in 5 patients and between 60 and 70 per cent in 17 patients. Cardiac catheterization was carried out in all patients before operation. There were 3 patients with evidence of severe pulmonary hypertension. In 2 patients the pulmonary artery pressures were normal. On physical and hemodynamic examinations, 3 patients had associated with aortic regurgitation, 2 patients had tricuspid regurgitation, 1 patient had tricuspid and aortic regurgitations and 3 patients had atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect or transposition of great arteries. The pathologic findings of the mitral valve indicated rheumatic valvulitis in 16 patients, while in the remaining 7 the etiology was undetermined. In only one patient the cause was congenital cardiac anomaly. Seventeen patients had predominant mitral regurgitation and 7 patients predominant mitral stenosis. Twenty-nine cardiac prosthetic and bioprosthetic valves were replaced in 24 patients in the past 8 years. This series included 24 mitral, 4 aortic and 1 tricuspid valve replacement. Including in this group were patients who had concomitant aortic valve replacement(3 patients), tricuspid valve replacement(1 patient), tricuspide annuloplasty and closure of ventricular septal defect(1 patient), and closure of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defec(3 patients). There were five deaths in the postoperative period, resulting in an operative mortality rate of 20.8 per cent. high postoperative mortality was seen in the patients with associated aortic valvular disease and congenital cardiac anomaly.
