Abstract

Background: Mitral valve abnormalities in the pediatric population are rare. Mitral valve replacement or pediatric mitral lesions can cause problems such as a lack of growth potential. There re only limited experiences with mitral valve repair at any institution, so the purpose of his study is to evaluate the outcomes of mitral valve repair n pediatric patients. Material and Method: Sixty-four consecutive children (28 males and 36 females) with a mean age of $5.5{\pm}4.7$ years underwent mitral valve repair for treating their congenital mitral valve disease between January 1996 and December 2005. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (34 patients (53.1%)) had isolated disease (mitral anomaly with or without trial septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus) and group 2 (30 patients (46.9%)) had complex disease (mitral anomaly with concurrent intracardiac disease, except atrioventricular septal defect). Result: The overall in-hospital mortality was 6.3%; group 1 had 5.9% mortality and group 2 had 10.0% mortality. The postoperative morbidity was 18.8%; group 1 and 2 had 14.7% and 23.3% postoperative morbidity, respectively, and there as no significant difference among the groups. The median follow-up was 4.6 years range: $0.5{\sim}12.2$ years). The 10-year survival rate was 95.3%. The 10-year freedom from re-operation rate was 76.1% with 10 re-operations. The majority of the functional classifications were annular dilatation and leaflet prolapse. A mean of $2.1{\pm}1.1$ procedures per patient were performed. The echocardiography that was done at the immediate postoperative period showed a significant improvement in the mitral valve function. The follow-up echocardiographic results were significantly improved. However, mitral stenosis newly developed over time, and there ere significant differences according to the repair strategies. Conclusion: The patients who underwent mitral valve repair for congenital mitral anomalies showed good results. The follow-up echocardiography revealed satisfactory short-term and long-term results. Close follow-up is necessary to detect the development of postoperative mitral stenosis or regurgitation.

배경: 소아에서 승모판막 기형은 드물며 각 기관마다 비교적 작고 제한된 경험들을 가지고 있다. 또한 소아에서는 승모판막 치환술은 성장 후를 고려해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 소아에서 승모판막 성형술을 시행한 환자에서의 성적을 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년부터 2005년까지 승모판막 성형술을 시행한 총 64명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 수술 당시 평균 연령은 $5.5{\pm}4.7$세였고, 남자는 28명, 여자는 36명이었다. 환자는 승모판막 기형과 동반질환에 따라 두 군으로 나누어 분석하였다. 1군은 승모판막 기형만 있거나, 심방중격결손이나 동맥관 개존증을 동반하고 있는 경우로 34명(53.1%), 2군은 이외 다른 선천성 심기형을 같이 동반하고 있는 경우로 30명(46.9%)이었다. 결과: 수술 후 재원기간 내 전체사망률은 6.3%로, 1군에서 2명(5.9%), 2군에서 3명(10%)으로 각 군간에 의미 있는 차이는 없었다. 수술 후 합병증 발생률은 18.8%로, 1군에서 5명(14.7%), 2군에서 7명(23.3%)으로 각 군 간에 의미 있는 차이는 없었다. 중간 추적관찰기간은 4.6년이었다(범위 $0.5{\sim}12.2$년). 10년 생존율은 95.3%였고 10명에서 재수술이 필요하였다. 이 중 2명은 잔여 승모판막 폐쇄부전으로 재원기간 중 재수술하였고 10명 중 7명에서 승모판막 치환술을 시행하였다. 10년 무재수술 생존률은 76.1%였다. 육안적 소견에서 가장 많은 기형은 판막륜 확장과 판막 탈출이었고, 성형술은 각 환자에서 평균 $2.1{\pm}1.1$개의 술식이 시행되었다. 수술 직후 재원기간 중 시행한 심초음파 추적결과에서는, 승모판막 폐쇄부전은 의미 있게 개선되었고, 추적 관찰 중 시행한 심초음파 결과에서도 수술 1년, 5년, 10년 후 시행한 심초음파 결과에서 승모판막 역류는 통계학적으로 유의하게 개선되었다. 한편 승모판막 역류로 수술 받은 환자의 32.8%에서 추적 관찰 중 판막 협착의 소견을 보였으며, 수술술식과 판막 협착의 발생 관계도 통계학적으로 유의한 소견을 보였다. 결론: 선천성 승모판막 기형을 가진 환자에서 승모판막 성형술을 시행한 경우 1군과 2군간의 결과에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었고, 두 군에서 모두 비교적 양호한 성적을 보였다. 또한 소아에서 승모판막 성형술에 대한 심초음파 결과도 양호함을 객관적으로 증명하였으나, 선천성 승모판막 기형의 수술 후 장기적 경과 관찰에서 발견되는 승모판막 협착이나 역류를 조기에 발견하기 위한 정기적인 경과 관찰이 필요하다.
