Ventricular Septal Defect, 1958
Scope and Contents
2 reels.
Reel 1: The ventricle chambers of the heart are opened to repair the wall after removal of damaged tissue. Blood flow within the heart is tested before closing up the bottom of the heart. Enclosed label reads Work Print VSD, marked and partially cut for final version of VSD Heart Surgery. Contact print.
Reel 2: The torso is drilled and sawed open. Blood is drained, and a tube is inserted into the ventricle as an artery is stitched up. A ventricle is opened and an entire damaged valve removed. Stitches hold the remaining valves open, making a space for the insertion of the ball valve. An extended artificial valve is inserted to replace the atrium.
