    Abstract:
    The article analyses the results of surgical correction of tri-valvular heart diseases in 132 patients who were operated on between January, 1973 and March, 1986. Total hospital mortality was 20.4%. Among the last 72 operations conducted from January, 1980 hospital mortality amounted to 14.0% (10 patients died). The results of the operations were approximately the same in the different methods of correction: 105 patients were studied in late follow-up periods (from 6 months to 14 years). With consideration for the hospital losses, by the 7th year of follow-up the survival after prosthetic replacement of 3 valves was 61.8%, after replacement of the mitral and aortic and valvuloplasty of the tricuspid valve--60.6 degrees. The stability of good results was 59.6 and 58.1%, respectively. Among and analogous group of patients who received drug treatment survival by the 7th year was 28.1%, which is evidence of the obvious advantages of the surgical method of treatment. The results were best in patients subjected to plastic operations on two and three valves.
