RIGHT VENTRICULAR ANEURYSM, A COMPLICATION OF TRANSVENTRICULAR PULMONARY VALVULOTOMY. REPORT OF TWO CASES, ONE ASSOCIATED WITH GONADAL AGENESIS.

摘要: Abstract Two cases of right ventricular aneurysm which developed in young patients after transventricular valvulotomy for pulmonary stenosis with intact septum are presented. The pathogenesis this unusual complication appears to be related part the incomplete relief and consequent residual high pressure. That such is not sole cause indicated by rarity aneurysms who require reoperation stenosis. Infection may have also been a factor first patient, since he was suspected having had subacute bacterial endocarditis. second patient ovarian agenesis, as well an calcification valve even at time operation. relationship these factors formation unknown. A diagnosis ventricle on basis visible palpable precordial bulge confirmed fluoroscopy angiocardiography. Although both died surgical treatment entailing excision stenosis, correction only possible treatment.
