    Abstract:
    A report is given of eight cases of congenital, multiple peripheral stenoses of the pulmonary artery, diagnosed by means of cardiac catheterization and selective angiocardiography. These cases are divided into two types on the basis of the anatomic features, i.e., type I—simple membranous stenosis distal to the pulmonary valve, and type II–multiple, short or long bilateral constrictions extending from the main trunk to relatively fine branches.

    The findings of cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography in three cyanotic children with congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels have been presented to demonstrate the value of these procedures, particularly in elucidating problems in connection with the pulmonary artery. In the fourth case of acyanotic cardiovascular disease the relationship between the two methods is further illustrated. No toxic reactions have occurred in 51 injections of 70% diodrast. Following a cardiac catheterization with an angiocardiogram does not appear to increase the risk of either procedure.

    The effect of cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography on the SGO-T was studied in 46 patients. Abnormal enzyme elevations occurred in a significant number of subjects. Such procedures constitute an addition to the known causes of SGO-T elevation.

    Glomic tissue occurs at the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk. There is controversy as to its derivation, blood supply, and function. It has been regarded as one of the coronary glomera supplied by the intertruncal branch of the left coronary artery. On the other hand, it has been described as the true glomus pulmonale supplied by blood from the pulmonary trunk. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to its existence and to establish its microanatomical structure.

    The material presented here was collected during 18 months since the Pediatric Institute in Poznań was opened. 252 children with congenital heart diseases were admitted to this institution. 152 children were over 12 months, and 100 were under 12 months old; 34 of them were less than 6 months old. 82 children were admitted for cardiac catheterization, angiocardiography or cine-angiocardiography. Below the age of 6 months the condition of the infants, endangering their life, was an indication for cardiac catheterization. In this age group catheterization and especially angiocardiography was not well tolerated by the small patients, but it was necessary to perform ballon septostomy in the transposition of the great arteries, or to establish definite indications for surgery. 5 children of this group died 48 hours after cardiac catheterization. The authors suggest that, in order to obtain better results, infants with cardiac malformations and in a condition endangering their life should be admitted as early as possible to hospitals where diagnostic and surgical services are working on continuous duty. This is not always possible because of technical and personnel difficulties.
