BACKGROUND: @entity1757 ( @entity1757 ) are a serious complication of acute @entity583 . The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical outcomes of the surgical treatment of @entity1757 . METHODS: The medical records of 23 @entity1 who underwent operations ( @entity1188 exclusion in 21 @entity1 and patch closure in two @entity1 ) to treat acute @entity1757 from 2001 to 2011 were analyzed. Intra-aortic balloon counter-pulsation was performed in 19 @entity1 (82.6%), one of whom required extracorporeal membrane support due to @entity1455 . The mean follow-up duration was 26.2  18.6 months. RESULTS: The in-hospital mortality rate was 4.3% (1/23). Residual shunts were found in seven @entity1 and three @entity1 required reoperation. One @entity1 needed reoperation due to the transformation of an intracardiac @entity1410 into an abscess. No @entity1 required reoperation due to recurrence of a @entity1757 during the follow-up period. The cumulative survival rate was 95.5% at one year, 82.0% at five years, and 65.6% at seven years. CONCLUSION: The use of a multiple-patch technique with sealants appears to be a reliable method of reducing early mortality and the risk of significant residual shunting in @entity1 with @entity1757 .
