Abstract

This is a report on the clinical outcome and hemodynamic profile of the ATSwcardiac valve prosthesis, which is a recently introduced pyrolytic carbon bileaflet prosthesis. We retrospectively reviewed the early outcome of 100 consecutive patients who underwent isolated cardiac valve replacement with the ATS(w prosthesis from October 1994 through June 1996 at our hospital. All patients were evaluated with Doppler echocardiography before discharge from the hospital. The mean age of the patients was 48.6 years(range: 2 to 74). A tota of 124 prosthesis were implanted; 71 mitral, 46 aortic, and 7 tricuspid. The two most frequently used sizes were 27 mm(40.8%) and 29 mm(35.2%) in the mitral position, and 23 mm(30.4%) and 21 mm(28.3%) in the aortic position. There was no early or late death. The total follow-up period was 950 patient-months with 99% follow-up rate. Serious late morbidity occurred in three patients; reoperation in two patients for late rupture of Sinus of Valsava in one and for endocarditis with prosthetic dehiscence in the other, and intracranial hemorrhage due to hypertension in one patient. There has been no thromboembolic complication or structural valval deterioration. In the mitral position, the average values of peak and mean transprosthetic pressure gradients and valve area calculated from pressure half time were 6.9$\pm$2.8 mmHg, 2.6$\pm$ 1.5 mmHg, and 2.7 $\pm$0.8 cm2 respectively. In the aortic position, the peak and mean pressure gradients'were 26.4 $\pm$ 15.9 mmHg and 14.2 $\pm$ 7.9 mmHg. For the mitra prostheses larger than 25-mm size, there was no significant difference among prosthetic sizes in terms of transprosthetic gradients, whereas there was a significant negative correlation between the prosthesis size and the transprosthetic gradients for the aortic valves. The peak and mean Pressere pradients were 52.2 $\pm$ 17.6 tmHg and 26.9$\pm$ 7.4 mmHg across the 19-mm aortic Prostheses, and 27.1 $\pm$ 11.9 mmHg and 13.3$\pm$6.6 mmHg across the 21-mm size. Above results can lead to the conclusion that the early clinical outcome of the ATS valve prosthesis is quite satisfactory, And the hemodynamic characteristics are comparable, if not better, with other bileaflet prostheses.

ATS 인공판막을 이용하여 심장판막 치환수술을 시행받은 100명의 연속적인 환자를 대상으로 조기 성적 과 외래 추적 결과를 분석하였다. 또한 수술 후 시행한 도플러 심에코 검사 결과를 통하여 이 판막의 혈역학 적 특성을 살펴보았다. 환자들의 평균 연령은 48.6세였으며 총 124개의 판막이 치환되었다. (승모판막 71, 대 동맥판막 46, 삼첨판막 7) 가장 많이 사용된 크기는 승모판막에서는 27 mm(40.8%), 29 mm(35.2%)였고 대동 맥판막에서는 23 mm(30.4%), 21 mm(28.3%)였다. 수술후 조기 사망은 1례도 없었고 총 950 patientmonths의 외래추적이 이루어졌다(추적율=99%). 만기 사망도 없었으며 혈전-색전증이나 판막의 구조적 결합에 의한 합병증은 발생하지 않았다. 2명의 환자가 각각 Valsava동의 파열과 심내막염에 의한 대동맥 인공판막 dehi nce로 재수술을 받았고 고혈압을 가지고 있던 환자 1명에서 두개내 출혈이 발생하였다. 도플러 에코검사 결과 판막 전후의 최대 및 평균 압력차는 승모판막의 경우 각각 평균 6.9 mmHg, 2.6 mmHg였고 대동맥판막의 경우 26.4 mmHg, 14.2mmHg였으며 승모판막의 평균 개구부 면적은 2.7 cm2였다. 27-mm이상 크기\ulcorner 승모판막에서는 판막크기에 따른 압력차나 개구부 면적의 차이가 없었으나 대동맥판막에 서는 판막크기의 감소와 압력차의 증가간에 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 19-mm와 21-mm 대동맥판막의 경우 는 최대 및 평균 압력차가 각각 52.2 mmHg, 26.9 mmHg 및 27.1 mmHg, 13.3 mmHg였다. 상기 연구결과로써 ATS 인공판막의 조기 임상 성적은 만족스러운 것으로 결론지을 수 있으며 혈역학적 특성은 기존의 동일 유형 판막들과 비교하여 더 우수하다고 할 수는 없으나 차이가 없는 것으로 판단된다.
