Coronary artery bypass graft with cardiopulmonary bypass is a conventional method of operative revascularization of coronary artery disease. Because of many troubles of cardiopulmonary bypass such as systemic inflammatory reaction, mechanical trauma of blood components and coagulopathy, coronary artery bypass graft without cardiopulmonary bypass has been popularized. Material and Method: From March 1999 to September 2000, 35 patients under went CABG at our institution. Among them, 14 patients received CABG without the use of CPB and 21 patients under went CABG with the use of CPB. Mean operative time, mean postoperative tracheal intubation time, mean ICU stay, mean hospital stay, the amount of transfusion, postoperative use of inotropic agents, and postoperative changes of cardiac enzymes were compared in both groups. Result: There were differences between the CABG without CPB group and CABG with CPB group with regard to mean tracheal intubation time, the amount of transfusion and the elevation of postoperative cardiac enzymes(p<0.05). Conclusion: While CABG without CPB provided satisfactory results, more long term follow-up is required.

Interrupted aortic arch with concomitant intracardiac defects is a rare congenital anomaly that has an unfavorable natural course. We report a successful staged operation of interrupted aortic arch with apical muscular ventricular septal defect associating esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula in a 3-day-old neonate weighing 2.6 kg. We repaired esophageal atresia through the right thoracotomy and subsequently performed extended end-to-end anastomosis of the aortic arch with pulmonary artery banding through the left thoracotomy at same operation. The apical muscular VSD was repaired 87 day after first operation. The patient required multiple additional interventions before closure of the apical muscular ventricular septal defect, such as pyloromyotomy for idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, anterior aortopexy for airway obstruction, and balloon aortoplasty for residual coarctation. She is now doing well.

On September 24, 2021, the new provisions(Article 38-2 of the Medical Service Act) mandatory CCTV installation in operating rooms where the unconscious patient is operating such as general anesthesia. The revised medical law aims to effectively prevent illegal activities that may occur in the operating rooms and to promote appropriate resolution to medical dispute. According to the law, medical institutions operating unconscious patients, such as general anesthesia, must install CCTVs in the operating rooms by September 25, 2023, and film surgical scenes only at the request of patients and their guardians, regardless of the consent of the medical personnel. The bill delegated the legislative device to minimize infringement of fundamental rights to subordinate statutes without stipulating it in the law.(Article 38-2(10)) The most realistic policy plan to minimize the infringement of the fundamental rights of patients is to prepare specific regulations. Therefore, this study examines the legislative background and main contents of the amended CCTV installation bill, and suggests issues to be reviewed when preparing subordinate statutes by analyzing major issues. It was reviewed based on compliance with the principle of minimizing infringement of fundamental rights of information subjects in the operating rooms. The information subjects of CCTV are health professionals and patients. Suggesting issues should be considered when preparing subordinate statutes so that the purpose of the CCTV installation law can be achieved while minimizing infringement of right of self-determination of personal information, personality rights, and human rights. It is hoped that this paper will be referred when discussing subordinate statutes and regulations to contribute minimizing infringement of fundamental rights.

Surgery on the distal trachea or the carina presents special problems for maintaining the airway and systemic oxygenation. Cardiopulmonary bypass is an alternative method for respiratory support for the patients with these conditions. Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) applied under local anesthesia has recently been used for respiratory support in tracheal surgery and the outcome is satisfactory. We encountered a patient who had severe distal tracheal stenosis after prolonged intubation. We had a gratifying result with performing tracheal resection and repair under the support of PCPS.
