Abstract

Twenty-nine cases of ventricular septal defect operated in this department during the period from 1969 to May 1975 were presented. Out of 29 cases, there were 20 cases of type II defects, 8 cases of type I, and one case of type III, and the last case was multiple defect. The anomalies associated with ventricular septal defect were eight in all; three patent ductus arteriosus, one atrial septal defect, one tricuspid insufficiency and an aortic insufficiency. Over all mortality was 17%. The causes of death were complete heart block in a case, respiratory distress due to excessive administration of morphine in one, low cardiac output in two and perforation of the aortic annulus after repair of the ventricular septal defect associated with aortic insufficiency.
