SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF A NEONATE WITH INTERRUPTED AORTIC ARCH, TRANSPOSITION OF THE GREAT ARTERIES, AND TRICUSPID ATRESIA - Litwin, S. Bert; Friedberg, David Z.
A critically ill infant presented to our Center with congestive heart failure due to Type A interrupted aortic arch, D-transposition of the great arteries, tricuspid atresia, a large ventricular septal defect, and a closing ductus arteriosus. Partially corrective surgery including aortic arch reconstruction, ductal division, and pulmonary artery banding was successful. Future total correction is planned.

SUPRAVALVULAR PULMONARY STENOSIS IN LEVO TRANSPOSITION AND â??SINGLEâ?? VENTRICLE - Nasrallah, Antoine T.; Williams, Robert L.; McNamara, Dan G.
A case of supravalvular and valvular pulmonary stenosis in an L-transposition of the great arteries and â??singleâ?? or double inlet left ventricle is described. Supravalvular pulmonary stenosis has not heretofore been reported in transposition of the great arteries. The clinical, hemodynamic and angiographic features are described. Surgical correction has many problems.

THE MECHANICAL HEART ON THE MEDICAL HORIZON - Kolff, Jacob; Olsen, Don B.; Kolff, Willem J.
Progress in materials and design of a total artificial heart has lengthened survival times from 1½ hours in 1958 to 3 months in 1974. During those years various limiting factors were found and analyzed. Remaining limitations encountered in a 3-month survivor were localized thrombosis within the blood chambers and infection along drive lines into the mediastinum.
