Abstract

To overcome the problems of classical pulmonary banding procedure, we developed a percutaneously adjustable pulmonary artery ba ding device. The banding device consists of banding portion of zig-zag shaped self-expandable stainless steel wire, shaft portion made by a polyvinyl catheter and a screw adjuster which includes a bolt and a nut. As the screw moves, the diameter of banding portion changes. Four Mongrel dogs ranging from 15 kg to 20 kg in weight underwent the banding of the mid portion of descending aorta with this devices through the left thoracotomy. One month after operation, we evaluated the pressure changes by controling the banding with the devices and then the dogs were sacrificed to study the microscopic changes in the aorta. The diameter and circumference of the band could be easily and finely adjustable by the screw control. The pressure recordings . revealed a linear increase and decrease in pressure gradient according to percutaneous ad;ustment of the banding device. Since the banding device can be easily placed and simply adjusted percutaneously, we hope the banding device may be applicab e clinically to improving the safety of pulmonary artery banding and debanding procedures in the future.

기존의 폐동맥 혈류 조절술(pulmonary래eV banding procedure)의 미비 점을 보완하여 피하에서 조절 가능한 폐동맥 혈류 조절기(pulmonary artery banding device)를 개발하였다. 조절기는 탄성력을 가진 스테인레스 철 사를 이용하여 지그재그형으로 형태를 만든 조절부,폴리비닐 카테터로 된 몸체 부위 및 볼트와 너트로 이 루어진 나사부로 구성되어 있다. 15∼20 kg의 네 마리 황견을 이용해 좌측 개흉술 후 하행 대동맥에 본 장 치를 장착한 후 때월 후 장치의 조절에 따르는 혈압의 변화에 대한 검사를 하였다. 검사 후 실험동물을 희생시켜 장치를 포항한 대동맥의 병리 조직 검사를 시행하였다. 조절기의 나사부를 회전시키므로서 혈관 에 장착된 조절기의 직경과 원주가 정확하고 용이하게 조절되었다. 조절기의 조절에 따라 측정한 혈압 변 화에서 혈압이 조절기의 회전수에 선형 증감을 나타냈다. 폐동맥 혈류 조절기의 장착이 용이하고 쉽게 조 절 가능하므로 이를 장차 임상에 적용시켜 보다 향상되길 기대한다.
