This study concerns the late results observed at follow-up[average: 32.5 months] of 23 patients, in whom Patent Ductus Arteriosus with pulmonary hypertension among 55 patients. They were operated from May 1984 to July 1987 in Chonnam University Medical School. There was predominance of woman [2.5:1]. No operative death occurred. All of patients subside preoperative symptoms, but 1 patient diagnosed recannalization of duct at follow-up. Systolic murmur was found over the pulmonary area in 5 patients [22 %], but it may be not related to systolic pulmonary arterial pressure[SPAP]. Also, SPAP were normalized in 74 % of patients and had mild hypertension in 26 % of patients. Although the patients had Patent Ductus Arteriosus with pulmonary hypertension, successful surgical correction was carried out safely in all instance but one, by ligation and facilitated by hypotensive anesthesia.

신생아에서 심실중격결손을 동반하지 않은 대혈관전위증 (Transposition of th egreat arteries with intact ventricular septum)의 해부학적교정은 저체중등의 외과적 위험인자에도 불구하고 심방내 교정보다 생리적이다는 점에서 선호되고 있고 조기수술성적이 향상되었다고는 하나 아직도 국내사망율은 높은 편이다. 저자들은 최근 3.5Kg(생후 19일), 3.6 Kg(생후 16일)된 신생아에서 Jatene operation 2례를 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

For the past 5 year 6 months from January 1975 to June 1980, 176 patients with empyema have been treated in Chonnam University Hospital. They were 134 males and 42 females ranging from ] 8 days to 69 years of age. [mean age: 26.1 years] The duration of illness prior to treatment was relatively shorter in pediatric group than in adult group, that is, the duration of less than 1 month was 89.5% in pediatric group and 38.0% in adult group. In bacteria study there were Staphylococcus 26.1%, Streptococcus 17.6%, E. coil 10.8%, Pseudomonas 10.8%, Diplococcus pneumoniae 5.7% and Candidia. And 4 children and 3 adults had infections of two species of bacteria. The underlying pathologic lesions were pyogenic pneumonia 34.7%, tuberculosis 29.5%, paragonimiasis 15.3%, trauma 9.7% and postoperative state. The over-all mortality rate was 1.7% [3 patients]. The causes of death were sepsis In 1 child and sepsis secondary to esophageal fistula in 2 adults. Adequate drainage and obliteration of the pleural space seems to be the most important aspect of treatment and can frequently be achieved by initial tube drainage in acute empyema, especially in the pediatric group. The chronic thick walled or loculated cavities required open window therapy, decortication, resection therapy and sterilization. Modified Eloesser`s operation and 0.3-0.5% potadine irrigation brought good result in the patients who had general weakness, marked pulmonary parenchymal destruction due to pyothorax, and pyothorax with severe bronchopleural fistula.

Aneurysms of the extracranial carotid artery are rare. This is a case report of the rapidly expanding false carotid aneurysm at left common carotid artery, which was repaired surgically with internal shunt This 20 year old male patient had a large pulsatile mass on left lateral aspect of neck at the time of admission. About 1 month before admission, he had received a trauma on left neck by glass piece and noted massive blood loss. And its skin of lesion was sutured simply at local clinic and well healed. 10 days before the admission, he had the sudden onset of the adult thumb sized and pulsatile mass and the mass had been enlarged more and more to the adult first-sized one. The cervical film showed a egg-sized and soft tissue mass. There was systolic bruit on the mass. The diagnosis was confirmed with the angiogram of left carotid artery and this showed the man`s thumb tip-sized extravasation at the point 2 Cm below the bifurcation of Internal and external carotid arteries. The emergency operation was performed by the internal shunt with carotid artery. The aneurysm was enclosed with the adventitia and carotid sheath, and the intima and media were Intact and had the opening of 0.5 cm in diameter. The opening was sutured by the one-hand mattress suture method and firmed with the Aron Alpha-A "Sankyo." The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged with good general condition.

이상우쇄골하동맥은 약 0.5～2%에서 발생하며, 성인의 경우 대부분이 임상적인 증상 없이 생활하나 약 10%에서 기관이나 식도의 압박에 의한 임상증상을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 증례는 수년간 연하곤란 및 반복되는 폐렴을 주소로 한 이상우쇄골하동맥을 가진 64세 여자 환자를 보고한다. 혈관 촬영상 좌우 경동맥(carotid artery)이 하나의 동맥간(common trunk)에서 기시하고 우측 쇄골하동맥은 좌측 쇄골하동맥 기시부 가까이의 상행대동맥 후방에서 기시하여 식도의 후방으로 주행하는 이상 우쇄골하동맥을 진단하였다. 수술적 치료는 우측 개흉술을 통하여 이루어졌다. 식도의 후방부위를 박리하여 이상우쇄골하동맥을 완전히 박리하여 유동시켰다. 우쇄골하동맥을 박리한 후 근위부를 결찰하여 분리한 후 원위부를 인조혈관을 이용하여 대동맥 근위부와 연결하였다.

Twenty nine adult patients underwent surgical esohpagectomy and one, bypass procedure for documented carcinoma of esophagus and cadiac portion of stomach at Chonnam National University Hospital from Jan 1986 to April 1991. There were several kinds of esophagectomies including through transhiatal, left thoracotomy only, laparotomy and thoracotomy, and laparotomy and right thoracotomy and cervical incision. Twenty five and squamous cell carcinoma and 5, adenocarcinoma. The tumor locations were the upper third in 3, middle third in 12, lower third in 10 and cardiac portion of stomach in 5. After operation, 8[27%] patients were classified in Stage IIa, 6[20%] patients in Stage IIb, 15 patients[50%] in Stage III and one patient in Stage IV. Major postoperative complications included anastomotic narrowing in 3, limited suture line leak in 2, wound infection in 2, hoarseness in 2, pseudomembraneous enterocolitis in 1 and herpes zoster in 1. There was no death within 30 days of operation. Ten months survival was 100% for patients with Stage lIa, 67% for patients with Stage IIb, 50% for patients with Stage III. Furthermore, 20 months survival was 75% in IIIa, 33% in IIb, and 40% in III. But there were no significant differences in survivals among the stage. The actuarial survival is 58% at one year and 41% at two years, The periods of average survival is 589 days after operation.

From Oct. 1983 to Dec. 1991, 135 cases of atrial septal defect which were operated at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascualr Surgery, Chonnam National University Hospital, were analysed retrospectively. They were 23.7% of all congenital heart diseases operated in the same period. Among the 135 cases, 62 cases were male and 73 cases were female. Their ages were ranged from 2 to 54 years and the mean was 18 years old. Main symptoms at admission were exertional dyspnea[70.37%], frequent URI[49.12%] and palpitation[32.59%], but 12 cases[8.88%] were asymptomatic. Electrocardiographic findings wer regular sinus rhythm in 96.99%, RVH in 64.66%, incomplete RBBB in 27.06%, complete RBBB in 42.10%, and first degree AV block in 9.02% All 135 cases were operated under the direct vision with cardiopulmonary bypass. Anatomically, most frequent type was fossa ovalis defect with complete septal rim[78.52%]. 117 of 135 ASD patients were repaired with pathch closure[86.66%] and 14 patients were repaired with direct closure[10.37%] and 4 patients in mutiple ASD were repaired with patch and direct closure[2.96%]. Postoperative complications were occured in 21 cases[15.56%], and they were wound infection, pleural effusion, postoperative bleeding, urinary tract infection, and heart failure mainly. One case died due to epidural hematoma and operative mortality was 0.74%.
