[Double and single ventricular correction of dual deviation of main vessels from the right ventricle of transposition
Abstract:
The experience of surgical treatment of double deviation of main vessels from right ventricle of transpositional type for the 1996-2001 period. Double ventricular correction was done in 22 (73.3%), singleventricular one--in 8 (26.7%) patients. Total hospital mortality was 18.1%. Tactics of surgical treatment of the failure, depending on anatomical peculiarities and the presence of concomitant failures, was determined. In the late follow-up period 22 (84.6%) patients, of that survived, were examined. The patients were followed up from 6 to 48 months, (24.4 +/- 12.3) months at average. The condition of patients was good. The meticulous estimation of the anatomy peculiarities before the operation permits to apply optimal surgical intervention and to improve result of correction.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
