Zusammenfassung:Repeat right heart catheterization was carried out in 20 patients from 17 months to 9 years following the initial study. In only a few patients was there an increase in pulmonary pressure. In some infants there was a significant fall. No deterioration in clinical signs or symptoms occurred. In view of these data it is suggested that one be wary of electing open-heart operation for the average patient newly discovered to have a ventricular septal defect.
