Abstract

Abstract

In the Year 1993 a total of 29 patients (21 females and 8  males) with mean age of 34 ± 10, were operated on using standard cardiopulmonary bypass for intracardiac corrections.  Surgical procedures included 10 cases for mitral valve replacement, 10 cases for mitral valvulotomy, 7 cases for closure of atrial septal defect and 2 cases for removal of left atrial myxoma.  There was one mortality because of low cardiac output on the 4^th post operative day.  The rest have had a good outcome.
