    Summary: "The ACL-Deficient Knee: A Problem Solving Approach, focuses on problem analysis and problem solving, as well as analyzing the possibility of prevention. In each chapter, the biomechanics, anatomy, etc. that are relevant to the topic are reviewed. There are chapters where highly specialized surgical techniques are presented (v. gr. double bundle reconstruction or meniscal transplant), as well as developing areas such as ACL tears in children, where we are finding a growing number of injuries due to the increase of sports at early ages."--publisher's website

    During the period 1972--1975, 26 patients underwent valvular surgery combined with aorto-coronary saphenous vein bypass at Ullevål Hospital, Oslo. Aortic valve replacement was performed in 13 patients, mitral valve replacement in 8 and double valve replacement in 3 patients. The Björk-Shiley tilting disc valve was used in all cases. A Carpentier ring was inserted in one case and an open mitral commissurotomy was performed in another. Twenty-nine saphenous vein grafts were inserted. Three early deaths (all patients in functional class IV (NYHA)) were due to myocardial failure. There were 2 late deaths (both patients in functional class III before operation) of which one was due to myocardial infarction and the other to ventricular fibrillation. The overall mortality was 19%. At follow-up with a mean observation time of 11 months, 19 of the 21 survivors were improved at least one functional class. Only 2 patients had mild angina pectoris. No valvular dysfunction was found. Twenty-one of 22 re-examined grafts were patent (95% graft patency). Valvular surgery combined with aorto-coronary vein bypass in this material shows low mortality and good clinical and haemodynamic results in patients in functional class II and III. Patients should be operated upon before they reach functional class IV, as the mortality in that group is very high.
