     This Amendment No. 6 (the "Final Amendment") on Schedule 13E-3 amends and
supplements the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed by MCTH
Acquisition, Inc., MedCath Holdings, Inc., Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe VII,
L.P., Patrick J. Welsh, Andrew M. Paul, Steven R. Puckett, David Crane, Charles
W. (Todd) Johnson and Richard J. Post on April 15, 1998, as amended and
supplemented by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on June 2, 1998, Amendment No. 2,
thereto filed on June 23, 1998, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on July 7, 1998,
Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on July 9, 1998 and Amendment No. 5 thereto filed
on July 9, 1998 (as amended and restated, the "Statement"), in connection with a
proposal to approve an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 12, 1998
(the "Merger Agreement") by and among MedCath Incorporated, MCTH Acquisition,
Inc. and MedCath Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which MCTH Acquisition, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MedCath Holdings, Inc., will be merged with and into
MedCath Incorporated (the "Company").

     This Final Amendment is being filed, pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3), to 
report the results of the transaction which is the subject of this Statement.

     Capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have the 
meanings ascribed to such terms in this Statement. Except as expressly set 
forth in this Final Amendment, all information in this Statement remains 
unchanged.
    

   
    

ITEM 10.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

   
    
   
     The information set forth in Item 10 of the Statement is hereby amended and
supplemented as follows:

     As a result of the Merger and the transactions consummated in connection
therewith (including the establishment by MedCath Holdings, Inc. of a wholly-
owned subsidiary named MedCath Intermediate Holdings, Inc.) all of the
outstanding common stock of the Company (as the surviving corporation) is owned
by MedCath Intermediate Holdings, Inc. The KKR Partnership and its affiliate
KKR Partners II, L.P., through their ownership of shares in MedCath Holdings,
Inc., hold an approximate 46% indirect equity interest in the Company. The WCAS
Investors, through their ownership of shares in MedCath Holdings, Inc., hold an
approximate 45% indirect equity interest in the Company. The Management Group,
through their ownership of shares in MedCath Holdings, Inc., hold an approximate
8% indirect equity interest in the Company, and the Physicians, through their
ownership of shares of MedCath Holdings, Inc., hold the remaining approximate
1% indirect equity interest in the Company.
    

   
    


ITEM 16.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
   
    
   
     The information set forth in Item 16 of the Statement is hereby amended and
supplemented as follows:

     The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were 
approved by the shareholders of the Company at the Special Meeting held on 
July 30, 1998, and the transactions described in this Statement were 
consummated on July 31, 1998. The Company filed Articles of Merger with the
Secretary of State of North Carolina on July 31, 1998, and the Merger became
effective on that date.

     Each share of common stock of the Company that was issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by the Acquiror
and shares held by shareholders who exercised dissenters' rights under North
Carolina law) was converted as of the Effective Time into the right to 
receive $19.00 per share in cash, in accordance with Merger Agreement.

    Because the Company, as a result of the Merger, has only one shareholder,
MedCath Intermediate Holdings, Inc., the Company filed on August 3, 1998
certification on Form 15 pursuant to Rule 12g-4 to provide notice of 
termination of the registration of the common stock of the Company under
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and to suspend all reporting
requirements thereunder.
