The results of radical correction of interatrial septum defects and heart diseases associated with it were analyzed after treatment of 502 patients at the age from 5 to 48 years. In most cases (58.4%) the patients were adults. The isolated defect of the interatrial septum was diagnosed in 377 patients. Correction of the defect was performed in 82 patients (16.3%) under mild hypothermia and 420 patients (83.6%) were operated upon under conditions of artificial circulation. General lethality was 7.7%.

The authors share their experiences with surgical treatment of 42 patients with different anatomical variants of the partial anomalous drainage of the pulmonary veins. Specific features of the surgical strategy are described depending on the level of confluence of the pulmonary veins, especially if the mouths of the abnormally falling pulmonary veins and the interatrial septum defect are far from each other. Good immediate and nearest results were obtained.
