Abstract

Operations on the open heart, of them in 62 (32.9%)--the valves prosthesis, were conducted on the base of Clinical Treatment-Diagnosis Centre "Simedgroup" of Ivano-Frankivskiy National Medical University in 2012 - 2015 yrs in 188 patients. Hemodynamically significant failures of a mitral valve and/or the aortal valve were considered as indications for the operative treatment conduction. Combined surgical treatment--the valve prosthesis and coronary shunting--were conducted in coincident ischemic heart disease. More durable rehabilitation is needed for elderly and senile patients.
