10 patients with mitral regurgitation associated with various congenital cardiac anomalies were treated by reconstructive techniques in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the period of 2 years from 1982 to 1984. There were mitral valvular cleft in one case, chordae tendineae rupture associated with congenital multiple cardiac-anomalies [VSD, PDA, prolapse of aortic non-coronary cusp through VSD] in one case, elongated chordae tendineae after removal of left atrial myxoma in one case, and mitral annular dilatation associated with VSD in 3 cases, large PDA in 2 cases, aortic regurgitation [bicuspid valve] in one case, and unknown origin in one case. Owing to the various pathology above mentioned, reconstructive surgical approach to mitral incompetence is accordingly complicated and a combination of the following different procedures were properly used case by case, that is, suture of chordae tendineae, shortening of elongated chordae tendineae, closure of VSD, ligation of PDA, aortic valvuloplasty, mitral annuloplasty with mattress suture, etc. All patients were survived and they have been excellent postoperative results.

This is a report of a case in which mitral valve replacement was performed using Starr-Edwards ball valve [model 6230] by total cardiopulmonary bypass with total hemodilution prime and moderate hypothermia. The patient was 21 year old girl, and mitral valvular symptoms occurred 5 years ago. According to clinical features of the disease, the patient was classified as the class IV of N.Y.H. A. cla3sification. The preoperative diagnosis of mitral insufficiency was made mainly by left ventriculography of roentgenologic study. The mitral valve was highly deformed due to scar contraction of valve leaflets and shortening of chordae tendineae. After prosthetic valve replacement, no abnormal hemodynamic signs were observed. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Surgical treatment is possible for the obstructive form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and transaortic left ventricular septal myectomy and myotomy has been the procedure of choice. If coexisting intrinsic mitral valve disease exists, mitral valve replacement has been performed. But abnormal systolic anterior motion of anterior mitral leaflet[SAM] with intrinsic normal mitral valve disease is the typical feature of IHSS and we prefer not to replace mitral valve. 3 patients underwent transaortic myotomy and myectomy for IHSS with mitral regurgitation. 2 patients of them have coexisting intrinsic mitral valve diseases such as mitral valve vegetation and chorda rupture. Concomittent mitral valve replacement were performed. 1 patient shows SAM of mitral anterior leaflet but has intrinsic normal mitral valve morphologically and transepicardial echocardiogram and direct monitoring of pressure gradient during the operative procedure gives better information for subsided mitral regurgitation. Post operative course during the 12 months follow-up was uneventful.

This is a report of one case of Loffler`s eosinophilic endocarditis associated with mitral insufficiency and LV thrombi treated surgically at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital. This patient was a 42 year old female and she has complains of dyspnea, palpitation, orthopnea and generalized edema. Above symptoms has been going for 4 months and NYHA classification was IV. On examination, blood eosinophil was 45 to 50% [WBC-9800 ]. MI and LV thrombi were confirmed by LV ventriculography and echocardiography. Pulmonary congestion and congestive cardiac failure were diagnosis by X-Ray examination, EKG finding and clinical feature and others there were no organic functional disturbance. Mitral valve replacement was performed with Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve [29mm] replacement. Adjust thumb sized grayish brown colored two thrombi were excluded, lodged in the apex and septal endocardium of LV. Endocardial fibrosis was reliably confirmed under the gross pathology in the heart. The patient had smooth postoperative course and there were no operative complication.

Between January 1992 and February 1995, 36 patients with mitral regurgitation were treated by a mitral repair There wert nineteen men and seventeen women whose mean age was 41.8 years, ranged from 10 to 71. Seventeenth patients had dystrophic change of mitral valve, twelve patients had rheumatic change of mitral valve, second patients had infective change of mitral valve and another fifth patients had functional change of mitral valve. Operation proced res were suture annuloplasty (35 cases), resection of leaflet (25 cases), chordal shortening(9 cases) and commisurotomy(1 cases). These procedures were combined in most patients. Two third of the patients were in New York Heart Association class III or IV and four fifth of the patients were in mitral regurgitation grade III or IV by doppler echocardiogram. After mitral valve repair, the patients were improved hemodynamic, echocardiographic data and functional class. Intraoperative TEE had been used in all most patients after weaning of bypass. If there remained MR more than grade 2, the valve was re-repaired or replacement. There were no operative death. The late mortality was 5.5% and cause of death was congestive heart failure. Patients have been followed up from 3 to 40 months, mean 15. Second patients underwant reoperation due to recurred mitral regurgitation, 4 and 19 days after the operation. During reoperation, we found that the repair suture was disrupted in both patients. Th s expierence demonstrated that intraoperative TEE is accurate and predictable and excellent immediate and mid-term results have been achieved by mitral valve repair.

Background: As the rupture of chordae and/or papillary muscle became the main cause of mitral valve regurgitation, mitral reconstructive surgery has a very important role. In this regard, we analyzed the clinical result and postoperative early result of operative treatment performed in our hospital, Material and Method: For this analysis, forty nine patients (male 26, female 23, mean age 49.0$\pm$16.5) who underwent mitral valve operation caused by the rupture of chordae and/or papillary muscle from August 1991 to April 2002 were reviewed. Among forty nine patients, twenty two (44.9%) received mital valve reconstruction and twenty seven (59.2%) received mitral valve replacement. Result: As to the pathological etiology of rupture of mitral and papillary muscle, twenty five cases (51.0%) were nonspecific degeneration, eleven cases (22.4%) were myxomatous degeneration, seven cases (14.3%) were subacute bacterial endocarditis. Three patients suffered mortality after operation (6.1%) and valve replacement was performed again on one patient because of remnant mitral insufficiency after valve reconstruction. The 5-year survival rate after operation for the entire mitral valve regurgitation patients was 81 .4%. We have also compared and analyzed the operation results of a group of patients who underwent valve reconstruction and the other group of patients who underwent valve replacement from thirty six patients who had suffered from mitral valve regurgitation caused by degenerative disease. The mortalities were 0% and 14.3%, respectively and the 5-year survival rates were 90.2% and 64.3%, respectively, but there were no statistical significance. Conclusion: The most common pathological etiology of mitral valve regurgitation caused by rupture of chordae and/or papillary muscle was nonspecific degeneration, In case of degenerative disease is the cause of mitral valve regurgitation, valve reconstruction showed better long-term effects in many respects and better operation results compared to valve replacement.

From April 1987 to May 1996, 13 infants underwent a Norwood operation for complex congenital heart diseases including hypoplastic left heart syndrome (n : 7), mitral stenosis with small VSD and subaortic stenosis (n : 1), mitral atresia with ventricular septal defect, coarctation of aorta, and subaortic stenosis (n = 1), interrupted aortic arch with ventricular septal defect and subaortic stenosis (n : 1), tricuspid atresia with transposition of the great arteries (n = 1), and complex double-inlet left ventricle (n : 2). All patients without hypoplastic left heart syndrome were associated wit hypoplasia of ascending aorta and arch. Age at operation ranged from 3 days to 8.7 months (mean 60.6 $\pm$ 71.6 days, median 39 days). The operative mortality( < 30 days) was 46% (6 patients). Late mortality was 15% (2 patients). All operative deaths occured during the Erst 24 hours after the operation as a result of cardiopulmonary bypass weaning failure (5 patients) and sudden hemodynamic instability postoperatively (1 patient). Late death was due to aspiration pneumonia in two cases. There are 5 long-term survivals (39%). Three of them have undergone a two-stage repair with a modified Fontan operation in two and total cavopulmonary shunt in one at 12, 17, 4.5 months after Norwood procedure with no mortality. Two patients have entered a three-stage repair strategy by undergoing a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt at 3 and 5.5 months after initial operation with 1 operative death. The actuarial survival rate for all patients at the first-stage operation, including hospital deaths and ate death was 30.8% at 1 year. In conclusion, the operative mortality of Norwood operation was relatively high compared to other operation for major cardiac anomalies, continuing experience will lead to an improvement in result.

도시 유역의 물순환 특성을 종합적으로 이해하기 위해서는 갈수량 자료의 구축이 필수적이다. 하지만 지금까지의 인구는 주로 치수분야에 한정되어 대부분의 자료 또한 홍수기에 대해서만 자료가 구축되어 있으며 상대적으로 갈수기에 내한 자료와 관련 연구는 부족한 편이다. 본 연구에서는 청계천 유역의 기존 수문자료를 이용하여 유역의 유출 특성을 분석하고 갈수량을 측정하여 청계천 유역의 물순환 특성을 파악하기 위한 기초자료를 구축하였다. 청계천은 서울의 서북쪽에 위치한 인왕산과 북한산의 남쪽 기슭, 남산의 북쪽 기슭에서 시작하여 서에서 동으로 종로, 세운상가, 동대문 등 서울의 도심부를 흐르는 유로연장 13.75 km, 유역 면적 $50.96 km^2$의 도시하천으로 중량천의 제1지류인 지방2급 하천이며, 정릉친, 성북천을 제1지류, 월곡천을 제2지류로 포함한다. 청계천은 도시화로 인해 1950년대부터 1970년대까지 점차 복개되었다가 2003년 7월부터 5.9 km의 본류구간에 대한 복원공사가 진행 중이다. 청계천은 홍수기 이후 유량이 급격히 줄어 11월 이후에는 다음 홍수기까지 강바닥이 완전히 들어나는 일종의 간헐천으로 홍수기를 제외한 시기의 자료는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 유역내 8개의 모니터링 지점을 선정하여 2003년 9월 이후, 월 2회 이상 갈수량 자료를 현장 측정${\cdot}$분석하였다. 청계천 유역은 복원공사 완공 후에는 유역의 물순환 특성이 대폭 바뀔 것이 예상되는 지역으로 본 연구에서 구축된 갈수량 자료는 청계천 유역의 물순환계 변화를 분석하고 건전한 물순환 체계의 유지${\cdot}$관리를 위한 기본 자료가 될 것으로 판단된다., 바늘꽃과, 속새과, 십자화과, 장미과, 사초과, 삼과, 현삼과, 닭의장풀과가 각 1종씩 조사되었으며, 조사지점(II)인 1km지점에서는 15과 26종으로, 벼과가 4종, 마디풀과, 국화과가 3종, 버드나무과, 십자화과, 콩과가 2종씩, 바늘꽃과, 속새과, 자라풀과, 장미과, 사초과, 백합과, 현삼과, 골풀과, 닭의장풀과가 각 1종씩으로, 조사지점( I )보다 좀 더 많은 종이 분포하는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 어류는 조사지점( I )에서 3회에 걸쳐 총 396개체가 채집되어 3목 8과 21종이었다. 이 중 한국 고유종은 11종이었고, 외래 어종은 검정우럭과 2종이 조사되었으며, Zacco platypus(피라미), Zacco temmincki(갈겨니), Acheilongnathus koreanus(칼납자루), Odontobutis platycephala(동사리), Coreoleuciscus splendidus(쉬리) 순으로 분포하고 있었고, Acheilognathus signifer(묵납자루)는 댐 건설 전에는 많이 분포하였으나 현장조사에서 서식을 확인 할 수 언어 개체수의 큰 감소내지 멸종된 것으로 추정되었다.에서 동시에 시행하였다. 수술 후 1년 내 시행한 심초음파에서 모든 환아에서 단지 경등도 이하의 승모판 폐쇄 부전 소견을 보였다. 수술 후 조기 사망은 없었으며, 합병증으로는 유미흉이 한 명에서 있었다. 술 후 10개월째 허혈성 확장성 심근증이 호전되지 않아 Dor 술식을 시행한 후 사망한 예를 제외한 나머지 6명은 특이 증상 없이 정상 생활 중이다 결론: 좌관상동맥 페동맥이상 기시증은 드물기는 하나, 영유아기에 심근경색 및 허혈성 심근증 또는 선천성 승모판 폐쇄 부전등을 초래하는 심각한 선천성 심질환이다

The incidence of degenerative valve disease also increasing with the increasing life expectancy of the elderly population. Rheumatic valve disease is decreasing gradually and the incidence of calcified degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) is growing. Echocardiography is a very important tool for evaluating the prognosis and treatment method as well as the time of operation and diagnosis of heart valve disease. When evaluating valvular heart disease, 2-dimensional echocardiography, which observes all heart valves in detail, should take precedence. Understanding the clinical findings of degenerative valve disease and performing precise echocardiography are extremely important. In addition, an assessment of the severity of aortic stenosis is necessary to determine the surgical indications. An assessment of the severity by echocardiography was explained with three cases of degenerative aortic stenosis. To perform echocardiography accurately, it is necessary to understand degenerative valve disease and its clinical findings accurately.
