    Abstract:
    This study evaluates results of radical correction of simple and complex ventricular septal defect in 85 children. 35 children were under 3 years of age. Two babies operated at the age of 6 and 8 months in a critical condition died after surgery. Total operation mortality was 2.3%. In 51 patients examined one year and more after surgery, the long-term results are in 90% of the cases excellent and in 10% favourable. In none of the patients did the authors find an unfavourable result of the operation. The authors regard radical surgical correction of ventricular septal defect as a method of choice regardless of the patient's age and weight.
