Abstract

Purpose : Applicability of transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) has been expanded by accumulation of clinical experiences and evolutions of the device. This study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter closure of ASD with Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO) in young children less than 3 years of age. Methods : From May 2003 to December 2005, 295 patients underwent transcatheter closure of ASD with ASO in the Severance Cardiovascular Hospital, Yonsei University Health System. Among them, 51 patients less than 3 years of age were enrolled in this study. We investigated procedural success rate, rate of residual shunt, frequency of complications, procedure/fluoroscopy time, and need of modified techniques for device implantation. Results : The median age was 2.1 years and median body weight was 12 kg. Implantation of device was successful in 50 patients (98%). Seven patients (15%) showed a small residual shunt 1 day after the procedure, but complete occlusion had been documented at 6 month follow-up in all patients (100%). The pulmonary to systemic flow ratio (Qp/Qs), peak systolic pulmonary artery pressure, and peak systolic right ventricular pressure had decreased significantly after closure of ASD. There were 2 complications including device embolization (1, 2%) and temporary groin hematoma (1, 2%). Conclusion : Transcatheter closure of ASD with ASO can be performed with satisfactory results and acceptable risk even in young children less than 3 years of age. We could suggest that even in very young children with ASD, there is no need to wait until they grow to a sufficient size for the transcatheter closure.

목 적 : 심방중격결손의 기구 폐쇄술은 현재 소아 영역에서 수술을 대체할 치료법으로 광범위하게 사용되고 있으나 수술과 비교하였을 때 적절한 시행 시기는 명확하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 3세 미만의 심방중격결손 소아에서 기구 폐쇄술의 안전성, 효용성 및 임상 결과를 평가하여 시술을 시행하기에 적절한 시기를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2003년 5월부터 2005년 12월까지 연세대학교 의과대학 심장혈관병원 소아심장과에서 Amplatzer septal occluder(ASO)를 이용한 심방중격결손의 기구 폐쇄술을 시행 받은 환자 295명 중 3세 미만 소아 51명을 대상으로 하였다. 시술 소요 시간, 투시 검사 시간, 폐쇄 성공률, 잔류 단락율, 합병증의 종류 및 발생 빈도를 조사하였고, 기구 장착 전후의 체폐순환비, 폐동맥압, 우심실압을 측정하였으며 시술 후 1일, 1개월, 6개월, 12개월 및 이후 1년 간격으로 경흉부 심초음파를 시행하여 추적 관찰하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환자의 75% (38/51)가 여자였으며, 시술 당시 연령은 $2.0{\pm}0.6$세, 체중은 $11.8{\pm}1.7$ kg, 심방 중격 결손의 크기는 $16.6{\pm}3.6$ mm, 이들의 체폐순환비는 $2.4{\pm}0.9$이었고, 기구 폐쇄술 시행 후 추적 관찰 기간은 $19.8{\pm}6.4$개월이었다. 시술의 폐쇄성공률은 98% (50/51), 소요 시간은 $87.7{\pm}23.6$분, 방사선 투시 시간은 $31.8{\pm}14.7$분이었으며 잔류 단락은 시술 후 24시간 뒤 51명중 7명(15%)에서 관찰되었으나, 최종 추적 관찰 시에는 모두 폐쇄되었다. 폐쇄술 시행 전과 시행 직후의 체폐순환비는 $2.4{\pm}0.9$에서 $1.4{\pm}0.3$ (P<0.001)으로, 주폐동맥압은 $28.4{\pm}6.4$ mmHg에서 $25.5{\pm}5.6$ mmHg (P=0.04)로, 우심실압은 $41.3{\pm}11.8$ mmHg에서 $32.6{\pm}7.9$ mmHg (P<0.001)로 감소하였다. 대상 환자 중 2명에서 시술과 관련한 합병증이 있었으며 기구 이탈과 관련한 우심방 색전증 1예, 서혜부에 발생한 혈종 1예가 관찰되었다. 결 론 : 심방중격결손 소아에서 ASO를 이용한 경피적 심방중격결손 폐쇄술은 3세 미만의 작은 소아에서 안전하고 효과적으로 시행할 수 있으며 더 성장하기까지 시술을 연기할 필요는 없는 것으로 생각된다. 작은 영아에서의 효용성과 안전성에 대해서는 더 광범위한 연구가 필요하다.
