“…Our surgical experience involves the second highest number of patients operated on in non-t ropic al count ries. The only larger series was reported by Dubost 's group (5). The first 2 of our patient s died at operation bu t t here was no operative or late mo rtality in the subsequen t cases, alt hough all patient s were in the terminal stage of cardiac failure .…”

Surgical treatment in 8 cases of non-tropical eosinophilic endomyocardial diseases with (4 patients) and without (4 patients) eosinophilia is reported. Follow-up results (1 to 4 years) in the 6 survivors, including hemodynamic re-study, were excellent even in patients operated on in the thrombotic stage (3) or with hypereosinophilia (2), or with dominant right ventricular involvement (3). Two-dimensional echocardiography gave the correct description of the pathologic stage and ventricular involvement in 6 of the 8 cases before catheterization.

“…In Dubost's report th e preop erative diagnosis was based on cardiac cathe ter ization and was incorrect in 3 of 20 cases (5). There are only a few rep orts on the 2D-echo features of EED (I, 2,4, 6, 9 , 10) ba sed on a total of 36 cases.…”

“…Medical treatment is often unsatisfactory and is used to control the acute disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Since the first surgical treatment of EMF introduced by Dubost et al in 1971, the only satisfactory option for these patients is complete endomyocardial decortication and atrioventricular valve replacement or repair, depending on the involvement of the valve apparatus. The two largest recent series of Schneider et al and Moraes et al show that surgery clearly improves quality of life improvement and the long‐term survival after surgery is good.…”

“…Surgical techniques reported for the treatment of isolated right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis include right ventricular endocardiectomy with replacement of the tricuspid valve, a palliative classic Glenn shunt, and total cavopulmonary connection. [2][3][4] From 1981 to 1994, 110 patients with endomyocardial fibrosis underwent surgical treatment at our institute, which included biventricular, right ventricular, and left ventricular types. Forty-three patients had isolated right ventricular disease and underwent right ventricular endocardiectomy and tricuspid valve replacement with a low-profile tilting disc valve.…”
