Abstract
Introduction. At implantation of the mechanical valve at children's and teenage age there are a constant need for intake of anticoagulants, a possibility of development of tromboemboliya and hemorrhagic complications, need for carrying out repeated operation in connection with dysfunction of an artificial limb or emergence of discrepancy of the size of an artificial limb of surface area of a body of the child with his growth.
Objective. To study the most often found complications in the remote terms after the operation of prosthetics of the aortal valve executed at children's and teenage age and to define ways of their prevention.
Material and methods. 120 patients after prosthetics of the aortal valve, from them 90 (75%) – a male, 30 (25%) – a female are examined. The age at the time of operation varied 3 up to 18 years (on average 12.7±3.3 years). Frequency of development of bleedings was 5%, tromboemboly 7.5%. Repeated surgical interventions are carried out 20 (16.7%) to patients.
Conclusion. Constant control of antikoagulyantny therapy and regular observation of the cardiologist in the cardiac center with carrying out tool inspections are necessary for prevention and effective treatment of complications.
