Abstract

Background: Sinus valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare disease, and it is frequently accompanied by ventricular septal defect and aortic valve regurgitaion. For treatment of SVA, several surgical mordalities were applied, but there was no report on the long-term result after surgical repair in Korea. We reviewed our 28 years of experiences and analyzed the long-term results after treatment of sinus valsalva aneurysm with or without rupture. Material and Method: Between March 1974 and February 2002, 81 patients were operated under the impression of sinus valvsalva aneurysm or sinus valsalva aneurym rupture. Retrospectively we reviewed the patients' record. Mean age of patients was $29.2\pm11.5$ and there were 49 males. Accompanyng diseases were as follows: VSD in 50, PDA in 2, Behcet's disease in 2, TOF in 1, RVOTO in 1, AAE in 1. Seventy-seven $(95\%)$ patients had sinus valsalva rupture and in 14 patients, subacute bacterial endocarditis was accompanied. Degree of aortic valve regurgitation was as follows: grade I: 8, II: 10, III: 9, IV: 4. Most common rupture site was right coronary sinus (66 patients, $81\%$) and most common communication site was right ventricle (53 patients). In repair of sinus valsalva rupture, patch was used in 37 patients, and direct suture was done in 38 patients. Result: There was one surgical death $(1.2\%)$. Follow up was done in 78 patients $(97.5\%)$, mean follow up period was $123.3\pm80.9(3\~330\;months)$. During the follow up period, 3 patients died $(3.8\%)$. One patient died of heart failure, another patient died of arrhythmia and the other one died of unknown cause. In two patients, complete atrio-ventricular block was developed during follow up period, and there was no operation related event or complication. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed $92.5\pm3.5\%$ survival at 15 and 27 years and it seems to be satisfactory. Conclusion: Long-term surgical results and survival is satisfactory after repair of sinus valsalva aneurysm with or without rupture.

배경: 발살바동류(Sinus Valsalva Aneurysm, SVA)는 드문 질환으로, 심실중격결손증과 대동맥판막 궤쇄부전 등이 흔하게 동반되는 것으로 알려져 있다 이에 대한 치료로는 여러 가지 접근 방법을 통한 수술 기법이 시도되고 있지만 국내에서의 수술 치료 후 장기적인 결과는 보고된 바가 없다. 저자들은 지난 30년간 발살바동류 및 발살바동 파열로 수술 받은 환자들의 임상 기록을 고찰하여, 발살바동류 및 발살바동 파열의 수술 후 장기 성적을 살펴보았다. 대상 및 방법: 1974년 3월부터 2002년 2월까지 연세대학교 심장혈관병원에서 SVA 및 파열로 수술을 시행한 81명을 대상으로 후향적인 조사를 시행하였는데, 환자들의 평균 나이는 $29.2\pm1l.5$세였고 남자가 49명이었다. SVA에 동반된 심장 기형으로는 VSD가 50예, 동맥관 개존증과 Bechet's병이 각각 2예, 활로 4증후군, 우심실유출로 협착 그리고 대동맥륜 확장이 각각 1예에서 있었다. 77명$(95\%)$의 환자들에서 SVA의 파열이 있었으며, 14명의 환자들에서 아급성 세균성 심내막염이 동반되어 있었다. 대동맥판막 폐쇄부전은 grade I: 8명, II: 10명, III: 9명, IV: 4명에서 발견되었다. 발살바동류는 우관상동 부위에서 66예$(81\%)$로 가장 많이 발견되었으며, 발살바동류의 파열은 우심실과의 교통이 가장 많았다(53/77). 수술은 첨포를 사용한 경우가 37예, 직접 봉합을 한 경우가 38예, 기타의 방법이 1예 있었다. 결과: 수술 사망이 1명 있었다(수술 사망률=$1.2\%$). 환자들의 추적관찰은 2명을 제외한 78명에서 가능하였는데(추적률=$97.5\%$), 평균 추적기간은 $123.3\pm80.9 (3\~330)$개월이었다. 추적 기간 중에 3명의 환자가 사망하였으며(사망률=$3.8\%$), 1명의 환자는 심부전으로, 1명의 환자는 부정맥으로 사망하였으며, 1명의 환자는 원인을 알 수 없이 사망하였다. SVA수술 후 2명의 환자에서 추적 기간 중에 완전 방실차단이 발생하였으며, SVA수술과 관련하여 재발한 경우는 없었다. Kaplan-Meier 방법에 의한 생존율은 15년과 27년에 각각 $92.5\pm3.5\%$로 매우 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 결론: 발상바동류 및 파열의 수술 결과는 매우 양호하였으며, 장기간의 생존율도 만족할 만하였다.
