[Long-term results of surgery in total abnormal pulmonary venous return in the infant. Apropos of 32 cases].

Report of 32 cases of infants with total anomalous pulmonary venous return, operated upon, below the age of 9 months. There were three immediate deaths, and one which occured six months after operation. All surviving children were followed-up regularly, and the post-operative follow-up period exceeded 18 months in all cases. 11 children went through control haemodynamic exploration. These were ten excellent post-operative results, 6 were considered as fairly good and two bad ones. For some of them who were markedly improved by the first operation a second intervention consisting in closing the atrial septal defect left patent, should be foreseen in later childhood.
