Proving the advantage of our one staged operation for the coexisting diseases we studied data resulting from the perioperative management in the group of one staged operations (n=5), and in the other group of single valve replacement (n=10).
Operative time, amount of operative blood loss and total amount of transfused blood, were 433±66 min. (mean±SD), 3180±1867 ml and 4836±2247 ml, in the former group (n=5), respectively. These data were almost similar to those in the latter group (n=10).
Postoperative ventilatory support time and ICU stay time also showed little difference between two groups. We conclude these data supports our previous report that one staged operation has no perioperative disadvantage in the surgical treatment of patients with both cardiac disease and pectus excavatum.
