A report is given on a 4 days old female small for date baby with a birth weight of 1210 g and a length of 37 cm. Beside other malformations (common arterial trunk,ventricular septal defect) it revealed an aplasia of the excretory pancreas and of Langerhan's islets with diabetes mellitus as well as intrahepatic aplasia of bile ducts. The malformations of the pancreas and the liver are discussed. Special emphasis is laid on the rarity of these findings.

A 10-year experience with early operation for postinfarction ventricular septal defect is reviewed. Twenty-two patients underwent surgical repair; operative mortality was 36% (< 30 days). The actuarial survival was 64% at 1 month, 59% at 1 year, and 47% at 5 years. Risk factors predictive of operative mortality were diabetes (p = 0.001), elevated preoperative right atrial pressure (p = 0.02), the absence of a preoperative intraaortic balloon pump (p = 0.006), and a short time interval between infarct and operation (p = 0.018). Long-term survival was adversely related to diabetes (p = 0.030), elevated preoperative right atrial pressure (p = 0.005), and, surprisingly, survival was better in patients with a greater extent of coronary artery disease (p = 0.023). There were 14 operative survivors (64%) and 11 long-term survivors (3 months to 10 years, mean 6.0 +/- 3.5 years). Six of eleven survivors were in functional New York Heart Association class I, one was in class II, and four were in class III.

To establish foetal cardiovascular parameters as predictors of perinatal outcome in pregnancy, M-Mode, 2-D echocardiography and pulse Doppler study was performed at 24-32 weeks of gestation in 65 pregnancies. These pregnancies were followed up for perinatal outcome. The studied population included 24 normal pregnancies, 21 pregnant women with heart disease (14 rheumatic and 7 congenital heart disease) and 20 high risk pregnancies (bad obstetric history in 7, suspected intrauterine growth retardation in 4, hypertensive disease of pregnancy in 6 and diabetes mellitus in 3). There was no perinatal mortality. Two foetuses were born with complete heart block and one with a small ventricular septal defect; 6 neonates had intrauterine growth retardation and two of these had neonatal asphyxia with APGAR score less than 6 at one minute. Anatomically normal heart was correctly diagnosed in all 64 foetuses and ventricular septal defect was detected antenatally in one. Antenatal diagnosis of complete heart block was correctly made in two foetuses. One new born with complete heart block required a permanent pacemaker, which was implanted. The ratio of peak velocity across mitral valve during atrial systole (A) to peak velocity during early diastolic ventricular filling (E) was chosen to correlate with perinatal outcome. The ratio was less than 1.0 in 6 foetuses, all of whom were subsequently confirmed to have intrauterine growth retardation. In normal pregnancies A/E ratio was more than 1.0. We conclude that foetal echocardiography is a useful tool for predicting perinatal outcome and may be helpful in screening patients who require specific perinatal management.

A double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect and right sided hypoplastic aorta was diagnosed in a 22 week fetus of a mother with diabetes mellitus. Elective termination of pregnancy was carried out and the echocardiographic findings were confirmed. Early prenatal detection of congenital heart disease may allow elective termination of pregnancy when the fetus has severe defects.

During the last three years (July 89 to July 92), 875 fetal echocardiographic studies were performed, at a mean gestational age of 26 +/- 6.5 weeks (12 to 40 weeks), with the following main referral indications: family history of congenital heart disease 23%; advanced maternal age 13%; fetal arrhythmia 10%; amniotic fluid abnormalities 8%; fetal malformations 7%; diabetes 6%; four chamber view changes 4%. There were 15 twin pregnancies, two of them thoracopagus. The referral patterns with higher percentage of cardiac pathology were: abnormal four chamber view 56%; fetal chromosomal anomalies 50%; omphalocele 33%; twin pregnancy 33%; IUGR 29%; arrhythmias 20%. The referral patterns with lower percentage of cardiac pathology were: congenital heart disease in the family 0.2%; maternal risk 2%; amniotic fluid volume alterations 2%. The diagnosis of congenital heart disease was made in 37 fetus (4.2%), with the following most frequent: 9 cases with the atrioventricular septal defect, 5 cases with ventricular septal defect, 5 cases with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and 5 cases with tricuspid valve abnormalities. From a total of 78 referred fetal arrhythmias, 25 were confirmed, 20 being ectopic beats without structural heart disease, 3 with tachycardia, and 2 with bradycardia. One newborn with tachycardia and Ebstein's disease died, and the fetus with AV block and left atrial isomerism died in utero. The treatment and follow up of the remaining cases with heart disease are described. The whole mortality in the cases with heart pathology was 65%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Congenital heart disease is an important cause of infant mortality and disability. The frequency, spectrum and contributory risk factors for significant cardiovascular malformations among live-births was retrospectively evaluated at the Aga Khan University Hospital. Of a total of 8331 live births between July, 1987 and December, 1992 34 babies were diagnosed to have congenital heart disease in the neonatal period giving a prevalence of 4 per 1000 live births. Ventricular septal defects was the most common (n = 10, 29%) abnormality. Eight cases had associated chromosomal abnormality, the most common being Trisomy 21. Maternal abortions, still-births, consanguinity and diabetes mellitus were not found to be significant risk factors for congenital heart disease in this survey.

The aim of the study was to validate clinically a new technique of myocardial protection developed for intra- and extra-cardiac surgery on the beating heart. The concept combines the principle of continuous pressure- and volume-controlled coronary artery perfusion (PVC-CONTHY-CAP) with the specific myocardioprotective effects of hypothermia and nitrates and, on the other hand, with the beta-blocker-mediated reduction of chronotropy and inotropy necessary for convenient surgery. Under standard ECC conditions after cross-clamping the aorta coronary perfusion with oxygenated blood enriched with nitroglycerine (10 micrograms/kg/h) and esmolol (0.05 mg/ml flow/min) is started via an additional perfusion cannula placed in the aortic root. The temperature of the perfusate is maintained at 32 degrees C, the intraaortic pressure at 40-70 mmHg and the perfusion flow in the range 0.8-1.0 ml/g heart muscle/min. In CABG procedures an additional perfusion catheter is used for perfusion of distal coronary artery segments. Using this technique 100 consecutive patients, adults and children, were operated on between 2/96 and 8/96. In 84 adult patients (age: 45-82 yrs), 78 CABG procedures (54 elective, 13 urgent, 11 acute) with a mean bypass count of 3.7 (range 1-7), 69 ITA grafts, 72 grafts to CX, and 3 MVRec/MVRpl, and 6 pure MVRec/MVRpl procedures (1 urgent, 1 emergency) were performed. The mean coronary perfusion time was 48 min (range 21-88 min). In 5 patients perioperative infarction (CABG; 1 emergency after PTCA, 4 elective) with significant increase of CK-MB values (57-98 U/L) occurred. In the 4 elective patients (3 with diabetes mellitus) re-intervention was not possible due to small-vessel disease. In one patient with preoperative infarction IABP was necessary. No patient died. There were 16 children (age: 4weeks-16 yrs): VSD, n = 6, AV-C, n = 2, TOF, n = 1, MVRec, n = 1, DORV (Rastelli), n = 2, SV (TCPC), n = 3, and PV obstruction, n = 1. The mean coronary perfusion time was 97 min (range: 27-260 min). The mean ICU stay 3.9 d (range: 1-10 d). One child died (TCPC) on the 10th postoperative day due to multi-organ failure. In conclusion, PVC-CONTHY-CAP is designed especially for emergency and urgent procedures, i.e. patients with PTCA-related complications, patients with severely depressed LV function, and patients with complex congenital cyanotic heart defects. Using PVC-CONTHY-CAP, coronary artery bypass grafting as well as intracardiac procedures for congenital and acquired heart defects can be performed safely and conveniently, the system is easy to handle for both the cardiac surgeon and perfusionist. Due to its pharmacological properties continuous intracoronary application of nitrates in combination with hypothermia seems to be essential as a preventive treatment modality for the ischemic state.

To assess the changing trends in patients profiles, operative procedures, and the result of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) we reviewed the clinical data of 700 consecutive patients who had anisolated CABG (471, 67.3%), CABG combined with left ventricular aneurysm (170, 24.29%), CABG and valve procedures (48, 6.9%), CABG and ventricular septal defect repair (16, 2.3%) at the Fuwai Hospital. The patients were divided into group A (recent three years) and group B (before 1993). The incidence was significantly increased (P < 0.05) in diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, ventricular dysfunction, left main stem coronary artery disease and three vessles lesion. There was a high incidence of hypertension (41.3%), old myocardiac infarction (36.4%), combined left ventricular aneurysm (24.29%) and IABP needed (9.4%), however no significantl difference was notes between the two groups. Internal mammary artery was used in group A (25.6%) and group B (2.6%) (P < 0.005). The hospital mortality (group A, 2.7% and group B, 9.6%) and perioperative myocarial infarction (group A, 3.2% and group B, 9.0%) decreased significantly (P < 0.005). We conclude that despite a high incidence of hypertension, diabetes, hypercholoesterolemia, old myocardial infarction, ventricular dysfunction and diffuse coronary artery disease the patients tolerate CABG surgery well and obtain a good result.

Analysis of the outcome of 127 pregnancies with first trimester medication (8.4% of the total number of the patients seeking genetic advice in 1997 at the Institute of Medical Genetics in Szeged) was carried out. The gestational age at the time of the medication and genetic counselling, the indications of the treatment, the drugs, the estimated fetal risk, and results of genetic ultrasound examinations and pregnancy outcome were evaluated. The majority of pregnant woman (78%) asked for genetic counselling before the 12. gestational week. The main indications the treatment were: infections, psychiatric-neurologic (depression, anxiety, epilepsy), endocrine (diabetes, hyperthyreoidism), and cardiovascular diseases and gastrointestinal problems. The main groups of the drugs were: antibiotics, antipyretic-, antidepressive-, antidiabetic- and antihypertensive drugs. When the multiple medication was conducted by simultaneous administration of two or more drugs, a complex risk calculation was performed. The fetal risk was higher than 10% in 31 cases (24%). The ultrasound examinations performed by qualified sonographer contributed to a correct evaluation and to reliable follow-up of pregnancies. No suspicious ultrasound finding was reported in the first trimester. However, a severe fatal brain malformation was found in a second trimester pregnancy, which was terminated by the couple's request in the 18th gestational week. A complete follow-up was obtained in 70.9% (90) of the cases. Out of 64 pregnancies intended to continue to term 4 fetal malformations were found. Of them three malformations (patent ductus arteriosus, Robin sequence and a ventricular septal defect) were explored at birth or in the newborn period. The actual 6.3% of fetal malformations was higher compared to the rate expected at birth, but almost equal to the rate of congenital malformation found up to the end of the first year of age in Hungary.

We present here two DIDMOAD syndrome cases (Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Insipidus, Optic Atrophy, Deafness) in a Turkish family. In the examination of the propositus who had consanguineous parents, diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, optic atrophy, and deafness were observed in addition to myopia, juvenile glaucoma, posterior polar cataract, and dilatation of the urinary tract. Diabetes mellitus, diabetes inspidus, optic atrophy, deafness, myopia, and ventricular septal defect were observed in his elder brother. Juvenile onset diabetes mellitus, congenital glaucoma, deafness, and heart disease were the other remarkable findings observed in relatives to this family. Juvenile glaucoma, posterior polar cataract observed in our propositus, and myopia in both our DIDMOAD syndrome cases are the first ophthalmic manifestations described in the DIDMOAD syndrome.
