[The first experience with surgical treatment of supraventricular tachycardia]. / Pervyi opyt khirurgicheskogo lecheniia nadzheludochkovykh takhiaritmii.

The article analyses the late-term results of operations on 46 patients for paroxysms of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVTA) which were refractory to prophylactic administration of antiarrhythmics. Transvenous electrodestruction of the atrio-ventricular junction were carried out in 39 patients. The results were good in 34 and satisfactory in 3 patients; conductivity and paroxysms reappeared in 2 patients. ++Anti-tachycardial ECS were implanted in 6 patients with good results. One patient underwent electrodestruction of an accessory conduction tract of the type of Kent's bundle with a stable clinical effect. The results of the study provide evidence of the high efficacy of surgical management of complex SVTA in a regional cardiosurgical center.

[Morphogenetic patterns of isolated infundibular stenosis of the pulmonary artery]. / Nekotorye morfogeneticheskie zakonomernosti izolirovannogo infundibulirnogo stenoza legochnoi arterii.

It was found that in isolated infundibular stenosis of the pulmonary artery a mass of muscle-fibrous tissue creates an obstacle to blood flow in the right ventricle. Morphogenetic regularities of compensatory and adaptive reactions in isolated infundibular stenosis are similar to those observed in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It may be suggested that abnormalities in the structure of the hypertrophied myocardium in isolated stenosis of the right ventricle infundibulum is a result of a fundamental error in the cardiac morphogenesis and not a reflection of increase of the degree of cardiac hypertrophy.
