Abstract

During the past several years, the maze operation has become the most effective method of treatment for chronic atrial fibrillation. When the maze procedure is done concomittantly with other cardiac operations, surgeons, in their initial experiences, may be concerned about the additional operative risks and uncertainty of the results. We performed the Cox-maze III procedure in six cases of chronic atrial fibrillation associated with mitral, mitral & aortic, or coronary arterial disease. Maze III procedure was done with open mitral commissurotomy(3 cases), mitral valve replacement(1 case), aortic and mitral valve replacement(1 case), and two-vessel coronary bypass graft(1 case). In spite of rather prolonged aortic cross clamp time, cardiac recovery was uneventful in all cases. No cases required reexploration for postoperative bleeding. All patients showed regular sinus rhythms immediate or between 2 and 20 days postoperateratively. Transient postoperative supraventricular arrhythmarias were easily controlled by various antiarrhythmic agents. In follow up evaluations, all cases showed regular sinus rhythm on ECG and the right and left atrial transport function was confirmed by Doppler echocardiography in all except one. Though our experience was limited in case number, the Cox-maze III procedure was effective in controlling the chronic atrial fibrillation without serious additional operative risks.

최근 수년간에 Maze 수술은 만성 심방세동의 가장 효과적인 치료법이 되었다. 그러나 승모판질환 등 타 심질환의 수술에 병행하여 시행할 때 대동맥 차단시간의 연장, 술후 과다출혈 가능성, 그리고 술후 제세동 결과예측의 불확실성 등, 다소의 우려가 있는 것이 사실이다. 단국대학교 흉부외과에서는 1996년 9월부터 1997년 8월까지 6례에서 Cox-maze III 수술을 시행하여 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 초기 성적을 보고한다. 남녀 각각 3명으로 환자의 연령은 평균 49.6세이었다. 심방세동을 동반한 심질환은 승모판협착 또는 협착 및 폐쇄부전의 승모판질환 4례, 승모판과 대동맥판의 협착 및 폐쇄부전 1례, 관상동맥 협착 1례로서, 수술은 Cox-maze III 술식과 동시에 개방성 승모판교련절개술 3례, 승모판대치술 1례, 대동맥판 및 승모판대치술 1례, 그리고 관상동맥우회술 1례를 시행하였다. 대동맥 차단시간은 122~233분(평균 182.4), 체외순환시간은 202~346분(평균 273.8)으로 비교적 길었으나 술후 심장회복은 순조로우며 술후 출혈로인한 재개흉예는 없었다. 술후 전 예에서 수술직후 또는 술후 2~20일 사이에 동율동으로 전환되었으며 그 기간사이에 일시적인 상심실성 부정맥이 나타나기도 하였으나 약제에 잘 치료되었다. 추적검사상 모든 예가 동율동의 심전도 소견을 보였으며 심초음파검사상 우심방의 수축은 전 예에서, 좌심방의 수축은 가장 최근에 수술한 1례를 제외하고는 모든 예에서 확인되었다. 이상의 경험으로 Cox-maze III 술식은 큰 추가 수술위험성없이 시행될 수 있었으며 만성 심방세동의 제세동에 효과적이었다.
