SURGICAL TREATMENT OF AORTOPULMONARY SEPTAL DEFECT:REPORT OF TWO CASES / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Two cases of the aortopulmonary scptal defect were operated on our hospital. Among them, one was associated with patent ductus arterious and primary thrombocytopenia and the other with chronic heart failure. The defects were repaired successfully with a patch through a transaortic approach by means of four-point fixation. The diagnosis and surgical technique were discussed.
