  • Isolated congenital aneurysm of the left atrium with intact pericardium is a rate anomaly, which usually presents with arrhythmia, cerebral embolism or abnormalities on routine chest X-ray. Surgery is indicated in most cases to eliminate a potential source of systemic emboli and arrhythmias. A 42-year-old woman having cervical cancer, she was suspected of having a left atrial aneurysm on review of chest X-ray and confirmed by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Surgical resection of Left atrial aneurysm was achieved without complication using median sternotomy with cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful.

  • The four most common types of congenital malformations involving the right atrium(RA) and the coronary sinus(CS) are congenital enlargement of the RA, single RA diverticulum, multiple diverticula of the RA, and aneurysm of the RA or CS. A previously healthy 6year-old child was presented with signs of upper respiratory tract infection. Chest X-ray and echocardiogram revealed a severely isolated right atrial enlargement. The abnormally dilated right atrim was widely resected under cardiopulmonary bypass. Pathology revealed multifocal myocardial loss associated with mild fibrotic changes of the endocardium and epicardium Our experience on this rare congenital disease is presented along with a review of the literature.

  • Congenital aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva is one of the rare congenital heart disease, which is usually asymptomatic until rupture. The aneurysm usually ruptures into a cardiac chamber and produces an aorto-intracardiac fistula. Ruptured aneurysm is a grave lesion in that it causes heart failure and subsequent death. If, however, it is discovered in its early stages and operated on properly, it can be corrected with considerable success. Form January 1975 through December 1984, 18 consecutive patients with congenital aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva underwent corrective surgery using total cardiopulmonary bypass in our department of Thoracic Surgery. 1. The incidence was about 0.9% of surgical cases of congenital heart disease during that period. 2. 13 were males and 5 females, with ages ranging 12 years to 52 years. 3. Associated anomalies were VSD in 14, infundibular PS in 1, aberrant muscle band in RVOT in 1, and secondary aortic insufficiency in 9. 4. 17 were suggested to arise from right coronary sinus and 1 from noncoronary sinus; Among 17, 12 ruptured into right ventricle, and one from noncoronary sinus into right atrium. 5. Surgical correction was performed by means of direct suture closure with combined pledget or patch graft after aneurysm resection, and associated lesions were also corrected simultaneously. 6. There was only one case of operative mortality, and all the other patients were relatively uneventful in their follow-up studies.

  • A 70-year-old man with aphasia due to ischemic cerebral events by thromboemboli was admitted. The cause of thromboemboli was investigated, and transesophageal echocardiography and chest MRI revealed an encapsulated cystic mass in the right atrium, not circulating. It was a homogeneous cystic mass suggesting a tumor (Myxoma) rather than thrombus. Right atrial mass was resected together with partial atrial septum under the normgthermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Histologically it was an atrial septal aneurysm, closed on itself, filled with blood. We re-port this rarely seen case with a review of the literatures.

  • The present study reports 41 cases of congenital and acquired heart diseases, who received open heart surgery under extracorporeal circulation [ECC] by Sarns Heart-Lung-Machine [HLM] at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the` period between July 1975 and February 1979. The priming of pump oxygenator was carried out by the hemodilution method using Hartman`s solution, whole blood, and fresh human plasma. The rate of hemodilution was in the average of 50.8 ml/kg. ECC was performed at the average perfusion flow rate of 85.0 ml/kg/min [2.43 L./ kg/2] and at moderate hypothermia. In the total cardiopulmonary bypass, arterial pressure ranged between 55 mmHg and 90 mmHg, but generally maintaining over 70 mmHg. Patient age ranged between 2 and 54 year old, in congenital heart diseases, between 2 and 28, in acquired heart diseases, between 17 and 54 Sex ratio of male to female was 20:21. The cases include a case of pulmonary valvular stenosis, 4 cases of atrial septal defect, 9 cases of ventricular septal defect, 9 cases of tetralogy of Fallot, 5 cases of pentalogy of Fallot, 3 cases of atypical multiple anomalies 7 cases of mitral stenosis or insufficiency, a case of myxoma in left atrium, and a case of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. The surgical managements were 16 valvulotomy for pulmonary valvular stenosis, 2 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of atrial septal defect, 16 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of ventricular septal defect, 12 pericardial patch graft for infundibular stenosis of right ventricle, one anastomosis between left superior vena cava and right atrium, 2 open mitral commissurotomy, 5 mitral valve replacement using Starr-Edward`s ball valve, porcine xenograft by Hancock, by Carpentier-Edward, or Angell-Shiley, one removal of left atrial myxoma, and a repair of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. Four [9.7%] out 41 cases expired postoperatively and the rest of 37 cases survived with satisfactory results. The causes of death were one coronary embolism in tetralogy of Fallot, 2 postoperative lower cardiac output in atypical multiple anomalies, and one right heart failure in large: ventricular septal defect with pulmonary hypertension.

  • We experienced 6 patients with the sinus Valsalva aneurysm rupture during last 12 years [Jan. 1977-Sep. 1989]. Of them. 5 cases were reviewed. They consist of 3 males and 2 females, and the age ranged from 12 years to 40 years with the mean age of 25 years. 4 patients showed congestive heart failure symptoms. The diagnosis was made by 2D-Echo and cine-angiogram. In 4 patients. sinus Valsalva aneurysm ruptured from the Rt. coronary sinus to the Rt. ventricle, and in one from non-coronary sinus to the Rt. atrium. In 2 cases, resection of the aneurysm and simple stitch closure was made. Resection of the aneurysm k patch closure and AVR in one, closure of the fistula, AVR and patch closure of the associated VSD in one, and closure of the fistula, AVR k TVR in one were made in another 3 cases. There was no postoperative mortality case.

  • Here, we present a case of ruptured sinus Valsalva aneurysm with fistulous communication between the right coronary aortic sinus and the right ventricle in 8 year old boy. Ruptured sinus Valsalva aneurysm is rare. And several reports are describing its pathophysiologic features, clinical findings and management. This patient was asymptomatic and the physical examination revealed palpable thrill and Grade III pansystolic murmur at the 3rd and 4th intercostal space along the left sternal border. There was an oxygen step up from right atrium into right ventricle on the cardiac catheterization reports. On 15th July 1981, an open heart surgery was performed and we found ruptured right coronary sinus Valsalva aneurysm into the right ventricle, which was managed successfully by doing direct pledget sutures. The postoperative course was uneventful.

  • Congenital intrapericardial left atrial appendage aneurysms (LAAA) are very rare. Most cases are asymptomatic and this malady is generally incidentally diagnosed in older patients. LAAAs are usually accompanied with supraventricular arrhythmias and life-threatening systemic embolism. Complete surgical correction is recommended immediately after the diagnosis to prevent significant complications, and even for the asymptomatic patients. We report here on the case of a 45-year-old man who presented with cerebral embolism due to LAAA. The patient was successfully treated with a resection of the aneurysm.

  • Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm is a very rare congenital cardiac abnormality. That is postulated to arise from a developmental weakness in the atrial wall in utero. Clinically, patients are often asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally, but supraventricular arrhythmias and systemic thromboembolism have also been reported in some cases. Surgical resection at the time of diagnosis is recommended because of the propensity for thromboembolic complications. A 13-month-old female, who was suspected preoperatively as having partial absence of pericardium with left atrial herniation through the defect, underwent surgical resection of the left atrial appendage aneurysm. Exposure through a median sternotomy showed an intact pericardium. The postoperative course was uneventful.

  • It is generally acknowledged that congenital coronary artery fistula is an abnormal communication of the coronary artery with the right ventricle, right atrium,left atrium and left ventricle. In young people the symptoms are unusual , but significant symptoms and complications appear among the older age group such as congestive heart failure, subacute bacterial endocarditis, coronary steal syndrome, aneurysm formation, rupture, and pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, early surgical treatment is recommended. We experienced a case of coronary arteriovenous fistula that was involving the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery with the right ventricle. It was 10mm in diameter with multiple vegetation. We repaired the fistula under extracoporeal circulation. The patient was discharged in a healthy condition twelve days after operation .
