Abstract

Background: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery appears to offer certain advantages such as earlier postoperative recovery and a greater cosmetic effect than that achieved through conventional sternotomy. However, this approach has not yet been widely adopted in Korea to replace complex open heart surgery such as mitral valve reconstruction. This study compared the results of robot assisted minimally invasive mitral valve repair with those results of conventional sternotomy. Material and Method: From December 1993 to December 2005, 520 consecutive patients underwent mitral valve reconstruction for mitral regurgitation in our institution. These patients were subdivided according to those whose surgery used the conventional sternotomy approach (Group S, n=432) and those who underwent minimally invasive right anterior thoracotomy (Group M, n=88); we then compared the clinical results of both groups. When we performed minimally invasive right thoracotomy, we used a robot (AESOP 3000) and made an incision less than 5 cm. Result: Our study patients in both groups were similar for their age, gender and preoperative ejection fraction. There were two hospital mortalities in group S. but there was no mortality in the group M patients. Significant reductions in the ICU stay and the postoperative hospital stay were observed in the group M patients compared with the group S patients. However, both the bypass time and the aortic cross-clamp time were significantly longer in the group M patients. In spite of the confined incision in the group M patients, there were no limitations on the mitral valve repair techniques. There was a similar frequency of postoperative significant residual mitral regurgitation in both groups. Conclusion: In this study, the minimally invasive mitral valve repair showed comparable early results with the conventional sternotomy patients. We will now need long-term follow-up of these patients who underwent minimally invasive mitral valve repair, but we anticipate that based on the results of this study, we will begin to routinely perform minimally invasive cardiac surgery as out primary approach for mitral valve reconstruction.

배경: 최소 침습적 심장 수술은 전통적인 정중 흉골 절개술에 비해 수술 후 조기 회복 및 우수한 미용적 효과 등의 장점이 있지만 승모판막 성형술과 같이 복잡한 개심술에서의 성적은 아직 국내에 보고된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 승모판 폐쇄 부전증의 환자군에서 로봇을 이용한 최소 침습적 승모판 성형수술의 유용성에 관해 정중 흉골 절개술과 비교하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1993년 12월부터 2005년 12월까지 승모판막 폐쇄 부전으로 승모판막 성형술을 시행받은 520명의 환자를 연구대상으로 하였다. 이 중 정중 흉골 절개술을 통하여 승모판 성형술을 시행한 군을 S군(n=432), 최소 침습적 우측 개흉술을 이용한 환자군을 M군(n=88)으로 하여 임상 결과를 비교하였다. 우측 개흉술시에는 AESOP (Automated Endoscopic System for Optimal Positioning) 3000이라는 로봇을 이용하여 5 cm 이하의 절개로 수술을 시행하였다. 결과: 양 군 간의 나이, 성별, 수술 전 좌심실 구출률 등은 양 군 간의 차이는 없었다. S군에서 2예의 조기 사망이 있었으나 M군에서는 수술 사망예가 없었다. M군이 대동맥 차단 시간과 심폐기 가동 시간은 S군에 비해 유의하게 길었지만, 중환자실 재원기간과 수술 후 재원 일수는 S군에 비해 유의하게 짧았다. 제한된 절개에도 M군에서 승모판막 성형술식에 사용된 수술 술기는 제한이 없었으며, 술 후 의미있는 잔존 승모판막 폐쇄부전증의 빈도는 양 군에서 유사하였다 결론: 최소 침습적 우측 개흉술을 통한 승모판막 성형술을 시행하더라도 조기 성적은 차이가 없었다. 향후 최소 침습적 승모판막 성형술의 중-장기 성적의 관찰을 요하며 본 연구를 바탕으로 승모판막 성형술의 일차적인 접근 방법으로 최소 침습적 개흉술이 보다 폭넓게 시행될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
