@entity1 @entity712 @entity339 @entity120 @entity474 @entity67
Fifteen @entity1 less than 12 months of age with complete @entity474 underwent repair of the defect between January, 1981, and December, 1984. The average age at operation was 8 1/2 months and the average weight was 5.7 kg. Eight of 15 (53%) @entity1 had preoperative mild to moderate @entity339 . @entity120 was present in all @entity1 and 13 of 15 @entity1 had a pulmonary arterial resistance greater than 4 units (mean 8.8 units). Operative indication was based on @entity120 , @entity712 , and failure to thrive. @entity67 was utilized during operative repair to assess location of valve incision, level of attachment of valves to the patch, and cleft approximation. It was also used to check the competency of the mitral repair once complete. The average circulatory arrest time was 55.7 minutes. There were no operative deaths. There were two late deaths. We conclude that @entity67 is the key to the operation, and operative repair is safe in @entity1 with @entity474 .
