Abstract

Arterial switch operation (ASO) has been the most effective surgical option for transposition of the great arteries. But, the inappropriate dilation of the neoaortic root has been reported and its effect on neoaortic valve function and growth of aorta has not been well documented. Material and Method: Forty-eight patients who underwent cardiac catheterization during follow up after arterial switch operation were included in this study. Arterial switch operation was performed at a median age of 18 days (range 1∼211 days). Preoperative cardiac catheterization was performed in 26 patients and postoperative catheterization was performed in all patients at 15.8$\pm$9.6 months after ASO. Postoperative ratios of the diameters of neoaortic annulus, root and aortic anastomosis against the descending aorta were compared to the size of preoperative pulmonary annular, root and sinotubular junction. Preoperative and operative parameters were analyzed for the risk factors of neoaortic insufficiency. Result: There were two clinically significant neoaortic insufficiencies (grade$\geq$II/IV) during follow up, one of which required aortic valve replacement. Another patient required reoperation due to aortic stenosis on the anastomosis site. Post-operatively, neoaortic annulus/DA ratio increased from 1.33$\pm$0.28 to 1.52$\pm$.033 (p=0.01) and neoaortic root/DA ratio increased form 2.02$\pm$0.40 to 2.56$\pm$0.38 (p<0.0001). However, the aortic anastomosis/DA ratio showed no statistically significant difference (p=0.06). There was no statistically significant correlation between the occurrence of neoaortic insufficiency and neoaortic annulus/DA ratio and neoaortic root/DA ratio. Non-neonatal repair (age>30days) (p=0.02), preopeative native pulmonaic valve stenosis (p=0.01), and bisuspid pulmonic valve (p=0.03) were the risk factors for neoaortic insufficiency in univariate risk factor analysis. Conclusion: After ASO, aortic anastomosis site showed normal growth pattern proportional to the descending aorta, but neoaortic valve annulus and root were disproportionally dilated. Significant neoaortic valve insufficiency rarely developed after ASO and neoaortic annulus and root size do not correlate with the presence of postoperative neoarotic insufficiency. ASO after neonatal period, preoperative native pulmonary valve stenosis, and bicuspid native pulmonic valve are risk factors for the development of neoaortic insufficiency.

동맥전환술은 대혈관전위증의 가장 효과적인 수술 방법이 되어왔다. 그러나 동맥전환술 후 신생대동맥근부가 과도하게 확장되는 현상이 보고되었으며, 이에 따른 신생대동맥판막의 기능과 대동맥의 성장에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 신생대동맥판막과 대동맥의 수술 후 크기의 변화와 신생대동맥판막의 기능 및 기능에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: 대동맥전환술을 받고 추적관찰기간 중 심도자술을 시행 받은 48명의 환자들이 연구 대상이 되었으며, 동맥전환술은 나이 중앙값 생후 18일(1∼211일)에 시행받았다. 수술 전 심도자술은 26명의 환자에서 시행되었고, 수술 후 15.8$\pm$9.6개월에 모든 환자에서 심도자술을 시행하였다. 수술 후의 하행대동맥에 대한 신생대동맥륜, 대동맥근부과 대동맥문합부위의 직경 비율을 수술 전의 폐동맥륜, 근위부 및 동관경계부위의 크기와 비교하였다. 수술 전과 수술 시의 변수에 대한 신생대동맥판막폐쇄부전의 위험인자를 분석하였다. 결과: 추적관찰 중 2명의 환자에서 중등도 이상의(grade$\geq$II/IV) 대동맥판막폐쇄부전이 있었으며 이 중 1명은 대동맥판막치환술이 필요하였다. 1명의 환자에서 대동맥문합부 협착으로 재수술이 필요하였다. 수술 후 neoaortic annulus/DA 비는 1.33$\pm$0.28에서 1.52$\pm$0.33로 증가하였고(p=0.01), neoaortic root/DA 비도 2.02$\pm$0.40에서 2.56$\pm$0.38로 증가하였다(p<0.0001). 그러나 aortic anastomosis/DA 비는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=0.06). 신생대동맥판폐쇄부전의 발생과 neoaortic annulus/DA 비, neoaortic root/DA 비율에는 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 신생아기 이후의 교정(나이>30일)(p=0.02), 수술 전 폐동맥판막협착(p=0.01)과 이엽성폐동맥판막(p=0.03)이 단일변수 분석에서 대동맥판막폐쇄부전의 위험인자이었다. 결론: 동맥전환술 후 대동맥문합부는 하행대동맥의 성장에 비례하는 정상 성장을 보이나 신생대동맥판막륜과 대동맥근부는 이상 확장을 보였다. 신생대동맥판막륜과 대동맥근부의 크기는 대동맥폐쇄부전과 직접적으로 연관되어 있지 않았으며, 임상적으로 의미 있는 대동맥판막폐쇄부전은 동맥전환술 후 드물게 발생했다. 신생아기 이후의 동맥전환술, 수술 전 폐동맥협착, 이엽성 폐동맥판막이 신생대동맥판막 폐쇄부전의 위험인자였다.
